Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Marie |
This picture was painted in the period when Lautrec was on the threshold of his mature style , but still under the spell of the Impressionists. Although he never exhibited with the group, he was affected by their technique and aims. Here the freedom of handling and the interest in rendering light and the atmosphere surrounding his figure suggest his debt to Impressionist methods. His emphasis on the human and psychological aspects of the subject, however, palace him in another generation and prefigure later developments in his art. |
