While never taking pictures himself, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864 – 1901) often had himself and his models photographed. Indeed, his photographic eye hardly found an equal among contemporary artists. This is evidenced by his unrelenting portrayals of the Parisian nightclub district as well as the wide-angle perspective he liked to use for his scenes—and not least by his daring compositions. The exhibition juxtaposes the paintings, drawings, lithographs and posters executed by this world-famous artist with contemporary photographs, many of which he used as models for his work.
