About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), titled Dans les coulisses (Backstage), originates from the 1952 album The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec. Published by Paris Book Center, Inc., New York, under the direction and supervision of Andre Sauret, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, this work reflects the expressive clarity, immediacy of line, and psychological presence that defined Lautrec’s incisive studies of performers and circus life. In Dans les coulisses (Backstage), Lautrec captures a quiet, intimate moment behind the spectacle, revealing the humanity, tension, and preparatory ritual of performers awaiting the arena. Executed as a lithograph on velin paper, this work measures 12.125 x 9.25 inches (30.8 x 23.49 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued.

About the Publication: The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec, published in 1952 by Paris Book Center, Inc., under the direction and supervision of Andre Sauret and printed by Mourlot Freres, is one of the most historically significant postwar fine art albums devoted to the artist’s graphic work. The album presents lithographic renderings based on Lautrec’s original drawings and studies, executed with exceptional fidelity to the artist’s gestural clarity, compositional dynamism, and psychological insight. Conceived as a deluxe fine art album, the edition brought together Lautrec’s dynamic portrayals of acrobats, riders, clowns, and circus performers, offering a vivid window into the spectacle, discipline, and theatricality of the late nineteenth-century circus tradition. Printed at the prestigious atelier Mourlot—renowned for its collaborations with leading modernists—the album reflects a postwar commitment to reviving and preserving the lithographic legacy of master artists. Today, The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec stands as a landmark in fine art publishing, prized by collectors for its craftsmanship, historical importance, and the rare opportunity it offers to experience Lautrec’s circus imagery in an elegant, carefully supervised edition. About the Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, and illustrator celebrated for his vivid and empathetic depictions of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Epoque. A master observer of character and movement, Toulouse-Lautrec chronicled the bohemian world of Montmartre—its cabarets, performers, dancers, and cafes—with a revolutionary use of color, composition, and line that redefined both fine art and commercial design. His iconic posters for the Moulin Rouge and other venues not only captured the exuberant energy of modern urban life but also elevated lithography to the level of high art. Despite his physical frailty due to a congenital condition, his creative output was prolific and profoundly influential, shaping the evolution of modern visual culture. Inspired by the expressive realism of Honore Daumier, Edgar Degas, and Edouard Manet, as well as the vivid color and composition of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Toulouse-Lautrec absorbed and transformed these influences into a bold, modern visual language uniquely his own. He worked and exhibited among many of the most important artists of his time, including Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Paul Signac, and his work stands in lasting dialogue with the great modern masters who followed—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—each of whom shared his drive to reinvent art for the modern age. His paintings, drawings, and lithographs are represented in major museums worldwide, including the Musee dOrsay, the National Gallery, the Tate, and MoMA, where they continue to captivate audiences for their psychological depth and timeless vitality. The highest price ever paid for a Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec artwork is approximately 22.4 million USD, achieved in 2005 at Christies London for La Blanchisseuse (1886–87).
