Between 1880 and 1910, Paris was a breeding ground for artistic and literary
movements that came to define a shifting, complex society. Modernity took various
forms, including the work of the Naturalists, the Symbolists, the Incohérents and the
Nabis, but the art of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) epitomized the new
tendencies. With his art as a central focus, this exhibition investigates a generation
of artists who sought to shake the constraints of French Academic standards. A
special focus is the intoxicating gathering of artists, writers, performers, and
musicians in Montmartre, where everyone from Toulouse-Lautrec—whose style and
subjects embody the times—to Sarah Bernhardt and Paul Verlaine worked amid the
swirl of cafés, concerts, circuses, and theatres. This exhibition is organized and
circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, VA.
