1952 T-Lautrec | Vintage French Art Book
A beautiful vintage art monograph devoted to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, published in Paris in 1952 by Éditions Pierre Tisné as part of the distinguished Collection Prométhée.
Written by Francis Jourdain and Jean Adhémar, this French-language volume explores the life and artistic legacy of Toulouse-Lautrec, with particular attention to his work as a painter and printmaker.
The book includes an essay on the artist by Francis Jourdain, a study of Lautrec’s graphic work by Jean Adhémar, an extensive catalogue of works, and analytical notes. It offers an interesting look at the artist’s paintings, prints, and the artistic circles in which he lived.
Particularly lovely is the original green cloth hardcover, featuring a reproduction of one of Lautrec’s iconic portraits and elegant cream lettering.
A wonderful addition to a collection of vintage French art books, or for admirers of Toulouse-Lautrec and the world of Belle Époque Paris.
