Toulouse,the midget who dwarfed the art world

He became a cripple at the age of 14.
The last affectionate words of the dying painter were addressed to his mother, his only love: "maman..you..only you."
Of Toulouse Lautrec..".. among the painters of his time, he will leave the mark of his curious and evil talent; the talent of a distorted human being who sees everything around him ugly, and exaggerates life's ugliness"
Toulouse Lautrec has revealed to us that world of painted faces, provocative under clothes, costume jewelery and paste diamonds, all gaudy finery of the tart whose wan smiles hide bitter tears.
"Lautrec went down to hell to paint the damned."
