With bright colours and bold lines Lautrec's striking artwork captured the essence of turn-of-the-century Parisian nightlife. More than 30 pieces from his esteemed career, including his first poster of the Moulin Rouge and the cancan dancers of La Troupe de Mademoiselle Eglantine, will be shown alongside works by other celebrated artists of the day. Steinlein’s iconic Tournée du Chat Noir, an advert for Ruinart champagne by Alphonse Mucha, and theatre posters by Jules Cheret will feature with eye-catching work by other masters of Belle Époque Paris.
This is the only chance to see Lautrec’s complete collection of posters exhibited together in the UK before it moves to a permanent home at the Musée d'Ixelles - Museum van Elsene.
A series of talks and events will accompany the show, bringing to life the joie de vivre of the Belle Époque and Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris. Further details will be announced in the spring.
Tickets for the exhibition are now available to book online here.
