  • Notes on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

    By Benedict (B. N) Nicolson

    FOUR exhibitions commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec were held in Paris and London this summer. The full-scale display at the Orangerie included a number of important loans from America, among them, in a place of honour, the Chicago Au Cirque Fernando (1888), and from the museum at Albi; the smaller exhibition at Matthiesen's, in Bond Street, was strongest in loans from Swiss private collections, the most intriguing being the Portrait of Emile Zola, which belongs in spirit to the monumental world of Seurat's Baignade and presumably must be placed in the first half of the 'eighties. The exhibition contained two female profile portraits from Germany: Modeled 'Atelier (1888) from the Kunsthalle, Bremen, and La Fille du Sergeant de Ville (1890)  from the Kunsthalle at Hamburg. Neither exhibition included examples from Lautrec's graphic work, but this gap was filled by a comprehensive collection of lithographs on view at the Bibliotheque Nationale, among which were eight from the series Elles (I896).
