Signed Susan Scott Rowland acrylic collage titled
"Cocquilin". The print is signed with Lautrec's initialed monogram (LR). Toulouse Lautrec was born in Albi, France in November of 1864 and died in Chateau de Malrome on September 9, 1901, at the age of 36. Always of frail health, his adulthood was marred by his physical handicaps and alcoholism. Yet during his brief life, he managed to create his own immediately recognizable style, and to evoke in his own way the world of gaiety and humor that was Paris in the late part of the 19th C. For all of his rebelliousness, Lautrec was a serious and industrious artist, producing an enormous body of work: his well known posters of cabaret stars, vignettes of life in the brothels, brilliant portraits of his friends and paintings of the theater, circus and music hall. He was serious about printmaking in the old tradition of the peintre-graveur, and considered it no less a part of his ouevre than the supposedly higher art form of painting. Lautrec's posters were effectively a form of antiacademic propaganda. His work can be seen at almost every major museum in the world. Site: 13"H x 11"W; Frame: 20.125"H x 18.125"W. Circa - late 19th C.
