Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born into the French aristocracy. As a teenager he broke both legs; they never grew properly. He moved to Paris, took up residence in the brothels of Montmartre, drank heavily, and painted everything he saw.

​

The result was one of the most seductive and unsparing bodies of work in post-Impressionist art — cabaret singers, dancers, prostitutes, the whole decadent theatre of late 19th-century Paris. Nothing sanitized. Nothing judged.

In 2005, one painting sold at Christie's for $22.4 million.
