Inspiration Fridays: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Toulouse-Lautrec may be my favourite painter of all time.  It's quite possible.  His works feel so romantic and beautiful, with an edge of the Parisian sex underworld.  I love it.  I've been a big fan of him for years, and not just for the iconic "Moulin Rouge" lithograph, and his popularization in Baz Luhrmann's film Moulin Rouge!  Though, I did love that movie quite a bit.  Nicole Kidman is awesome.

Anyway, I prefer Toulouse-Lautrec's full-on paintings to his lithographs.  Two of them (the first two) are actually framed in my bedroom.  

Please, enjoy, and share with me the talent of a turn-of-the-century artistic genius.
