Delphi Collected Works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
A leading exponent of the French Post-Impressionists, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec observed and painted with great psychological insight the personalities and extraordinary characters of Parisian nightlife of the late nineteenth century. He was an exceptionally talented draughtsman, whose works conjure an unbridled sense of dynamism, propelled by his use of free-flowing and expressive line. Unlike van Gogh, Munch and Gauguin, his works never explore his own feelings and emotions, but those that are being conveyed from outside — from the subjects themselves, offering a unique voice in the development of modern art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.

I enjoyed Lautrec's paintings and posters especially the Moulin Rouge ones.
"Regarded as one of the forerunners of the Post-Impressionist movement, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born on 24 November 1864 in Albi in southern France. He came from a line of ancient aristocratic families, descending from the medieval Counts of Toulouse. His parents were cousins and it was an unsuccessful union, as they were much unsuited to each another. Countess Adèle was clever, pious and virtuous, desiring a peaceful life, while her husband, Count Alphonse, was an eccentric and outgoing man, who acted on impulse. Surviving accounts tell us how the Count enjoyed dressing up on a variety of occasions, at one time sitting down to lunch with the family attired as a ferocious Highlander. He liked outdoor pursuits such as hunting and hawking and he was often unfaithful to his wife. If the Count’s first-born child, Henri, had outlived his father, he would have been succeeded to the family title of Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec. After the untimely death of a younger brother, the parents separated and a nanny eventually took care of Henri. At the age of eight, he was living with his mother in Paris, where he occupied himself with drawing sketches and caricatures in his exercise workbooks. The family soon discovered his rare talent for art. Lautrec’s family was noted for artistic, though amateur interests, as Henri’s father and his uncles were skilled draughtsmen and the Count also had experience in sculpturing. A friend of the Count, René Princeteau, a sporting artist, occasionally visited Henri to give informal lessons."
"He had always been a delicate youth and in May 1878 he suffered a serious accident, badly fracturing his left femur. At the time he was already studying at Princeteau’s studio. The youth spent many days of his slow convalescence painting and drawing. Disaster struck again in August the following year, when he had another accident, now breaking his right leg. Due to these unfortunate fractures, both legs stopped growing correctly, although his torso developed at a normal rate. This in effect gave him an appearance of suffering dwarfism, accentuated by his thick nose, puffy lips and the unusual waddling walk that he developed over time. It was soon clear that he would never be able to enjoy the vigorous sporting life carried out by his father and so naturally he turned his attention to his artistic gifts. Were it not for these two bizarre accidents, he would likely never have become one of the greatest French artists of the late nineteenth century."
