Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
"The Belle Époque" ("Beautiful Era", "Golden Age"). It was a period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century when Paris, against the backdrop of technological innovation and economic development, grew into one of the world's leading metropolises, shining brightly as the "City of Light" and the "City of Art", radiating glamorous and captivating charm. During the milestone of the century, the 1900 World's Fair, Paris reached the peak of celebration, where modernization advanced with the spread of electricity, including the introduction of the subway and moving sidewalks. People indulged in a modern life adorned with entertainment and popular culture, with the screening of films, and the opening of dance halls and music halls.
One of the artists who symbolized the hedonistic atmosphere of Paris at that time was Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901). Born into an aristocratic family, Toulouse-Lautrec frequented the nightlife of Montmartre in Paris, where he depicted people gathering in cabarets and dance halls with sharp observation and precise drawing skills. Using vivid multicolor lithographic printing, a new expression technique, Toulouse-Lautrec elevated advertising posters to the art realm, pioneering the graphic design field.
This exhibition showcases over 300 works from artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Mucha, and Dufy, introducing the art of Paris during the glamorous Belle Époque, depicting theaters, nightlife, women's attire, and people's lives.
