Toulouse-Lautrec Exhibition Opens at Palazzo Dalla Rosa Prati in Parma

A new exhibition centered on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Albi, 1864 – Saint-André-du-Bois, 1901) has opened at Palazzo Dalla Rosa Prati in Parma, showcasing 120 pieces curated by Joan Abelló. The display emphasizes the equilibrium found in circus scenes, illustrating Lautrec's talent for conveying tension despite his delicate physique. A segment called "Il mondo del circo" presents lithographs, many of which were printed after his death. Vittoria Mainoldi highlights the contribution of publisher Maurice Joyant to Lautrec's inaugural exhibition. The 1899 series "Au Cirque" features various subjects, including horses and a clown riding a bucking horse. Additionally, the exhibition includes posters, program covers, and drawings inspired by Japanese art. It is organized by Artribune and authored by Valeria Ottolenghi.
