Montmatre is not just the setting for many works by the multi-faceted Toulouse-Lautrec, but also the social and cultural epicentre which defined modern style and the Bohemian character.

Using paintings, drawings, posters and illustrations, ‘Toulouse-Lautrec and the spirit of Montmatre’ displays the work of the artist, in tune with the group of contemporary artists in Paris at the end of the 19^th century.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Albi, 1864 – Château Malromé, 1901) and other artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Jean-Louis Forain, T. A. Steinlen, Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard all helped this ground-breaking movement to flourish beyond the bourgeoisie.

The exhibition, which consists of 350 pieces loaned internationally from public and private collections, represents a journey around Bohemian Paris at the turn of the 20^th century. A multi-disciplinary display to comprehend the fundamental role of the spirit of Montmatre in the development of modern art, and the way that Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries influenced the evolution and production of ephemeral art with posters, illustrations, prints and designs, opening the Bohemian spirit and artistic creations up to new audiences.
