Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, this volume focuses primarily on Toulouse-Lautrec's fascination with Paris's nightlife and his friendships and professional relationships with its performers. Biography and art analysis are equally balanced. The book's generous size allows for many detailed reproductions, and its dynamic design, inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec's own posters, enhances the presentation. Bib.

Illustrated by
Dorothy Donohue.
After art school, friends Henri T. LaPooch and Vincent van Dog visit each other in the country and the city. As expected, neither likes the other's environment. The characters are loosely based on Toulouse-Lautrec and van Gogh, both of whose art is reflected in the attractive cut-paper illustrations. The book includes French phrases and an afterword about the artists.
