Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901). Born into an old aristocratic family in Albi, Lautrec broke both legs as a teenager and never grew to full height. He moved to Montmartre and made its dance halls, cabarets and circus his subject. His posters for the Moulin Rouge and its stars turned the street poster into art, and in barely fifteen working years he filled sketchbooks, cardboard panels and lithograph stones with the people of Paris nightlife. The pieces here are in the public domain, shared openly by the museums that hold them.
