Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre

Organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre will be on view at the Art Institute of Chicago until early October, 2005. This Web feature cannot match the hundreds of Lautrec works on display at the Institute, but virtual visitors get a nice introduction to the main themes of the exhibition: Montmartre, Dance Halls, the Chat Noir and Cabarets, Café-Concerts and Celebrity Culture, Maisons Closes, and the Circus, as well as digital images of roughly 30 items from the show. According to organizers, "The aim of the exhibition is to place Toulouse-Lautrec in a wider cultural context and to include for comparison and contrast a selection of works by his contemporaries...", hence the inclusion of works by other artists, such as Vincent van Gogh's _Agostina Segatori at the Café du Tambourin_ and period photographs of Lautrec and the dancer La Goulue. In addition, necessary information for those planning to see Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre in person is available at the site; how to purchase tickets, museum hours, etc.
