Racing Through Life: Toulouse-Lautrec

SADRžAJ

Ambitious painter, draughtsman and brilliant poster artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec chronicled his era with insatiable greed. The aristocrat from Albuquerque, friend of Van Gogh and inspired by Degas and Manet, was encumbered by a handicap and an ungainly body, which did not prevent him from frequenting the artists and intellectuals of Parisian life and the Montmatro scene. From the cabarets of Pigalle to the brothels, this caustic and provocative observer casts a glance full of passion and humanity on the women he meets. This documentary traces the journey of a visionary artist with a fierce freedom who reveals, behind the parties and the glitter, the immense solitude of the human condition.
