Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa , conocido simplemente como Toulouse-Lautrec, fue un pintor y cartelista francés, que destacó por la representación de la vida nocturna parisina de finales del siglo XIX. Se le enmarca en el movimiento postimpresionista, pero hay debates sobre si la intención subversiva de su obra contra el statu quo de las relaciones extra-matrimoniales debe hacer su obra única, creando su categorización propia e inconmensurable.[2]

Frases Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

„I have tried to draw realistically and not ideally... It may be a defect, for I have no mercy on warts, and I like adorning them with wanton hairs, rounding them off and giving them a bright surface... - A painter in embryo....- Write me a line soon. I am feverish with anxiety.“

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

„I'm very much alone all day, I read a litle but, in the long run, it gives me a headache. I draw and paint as much as I can, indeed till my hand grows tired, and when night begins to fall I hope Jeanne d'Armagnac [his cousin] will come to my bedside. She does sometimes, and cheers me up and plays with me, and I listen to her talk, without daring to look at her. She is so tall and so beautiful! And I am neither tall nor beautiful.“

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

„There are two young Englishmen in the next rooms to ours who are superb; their two sisters, looking like umbrellas, are here too, dressed in pink, with a little friend in blue with red hair. She is a type I have tried to draw on horseback but have not succeeded.“

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

„I can't do it, I can't do it. I simply can't help turning a deaf ear to it and banging my head against the wall - yes - and all for an art that escapes me and will never know all the trouble I have taken on its behalf.“

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
p. 80 - c. 1882-1883

„I could never have believed that such kindness existed: to receive my wretched drawings and then thank me into the bargain. And you need not be so scrupulous about my drawings. Just use those you like.... But, I am madly, crazily happy at the thought that your prose [Devismes novel 'Cocotte'], like so many fireworks, will frame my daubs, that you should have offered me a helping hand on the arduous road towards getting known...“

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
p. 61 - in a letter to his friend Etienne Devismes, Summer of 1881 Quote from Lautrec's letter, after he received Devismes' letter full of praise for the 23 illustrations he had sent

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
p. 83 - from a note of his impressions Lautrec visited in the Spring of 1885 several exhibitions in Paris, he made a note of his impressions. His spontaneous criticisms were irreverent, with a certain irony. 'Le Mirliton', a Paris cabaret, was opened in 1885 by Aristide Bruant
