A Toulouse-Lautrec Sketchbook

French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a superb draftsman. Possessing the extraordinary ability to memorize action, he was able to convey rapid movement in his drawings with merely a few strokes. Graphic in nature, his works especially his sketches are of striking originality and power. In his brief but enormously productive lifetime (he died at the age of 37), Toulouse-Lautrec created thousands of sketches. This little-known volume includes 85 of his most striking early efforts, the majority of them studies of horses.
