They are divided between; paintings, drawings, prints, and pos- ters. This gifted Frenchman, whose satirical brush and pencil revealed the underworld life of the Paris of 1885- 1900, as vividly as did the pen of Bal- zac fifty years earlier, was born in, Albi, France, in 1864. His father was Count Alphonse de Toulouse- Lautrec-Monfa, a man of dashing sporting instincts, and it was the hope of the father that the son should grow up with the same love for horses and the race track. Unfor- tunately, at the age of thirteen, young Henri broke a leg and in the follow- ing year suffered a like fracture with ‘the other leg, This resulted in a sus- pended growth of both limbs and made him a dwarf. His father wash- ed his handrof the son who could not fulfill his ambitions and, ridicul- ed by strong men, coldly pitied by women and the butt of jibes by the crowd, he sought solace in the only places he found a welcome --. the eab. arets and night clubs of Paris. His keen sense of observation and his tal- ent for drawing launched him in a career that has wan for him a niche alongside Daumier, Cruikshank and other great caricaturists of all time. Tuuluuse-l.autree, however, was more than a caricaturist, because he de- pended so little on exaggeration. With the keen precision of a surgeon with a scalpel, he probed into the depths of character and with a few strokes of his brush or pencil revealed the dissipated man-about-town, the flashy sport, the racetrack habitue, the cab- aret dancer, or the night-club hostess with sophisticated face. The present exhibition has been assembled from many sources, two panels, mach nine feet Equarc, coming from Paris as- pociuliy for this showing and others from the principal museums and pri- vate collections of the United States.
