Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864-1901) was a painter, printmaker, and illustrator known for his iconic Art Nouveau poster art. Toulouse-Lautrec was born into great privilege but suffered great physical suffering; like many members of his family, he found solace in the study and creation of art. He was greatly influenced by both Japanese art forms and Impressionism (specifically the work of Edgar Degas).
