Copenhagen.- The National Gallery of Denmark is proud to present “Toulouse-Lautrec: The Human Comedy” on view through February 19th 2012. This exhibition will present a wide range of works, focusing mainly on Toulouse-Lautrec’s prints housed at the Gallery’s Department of Graphic Arts. Pivotal points of the exhibition will include the urban space and how it stages gender and identity. A cripple descended from aristocratic stock who became the controversial chronicler of modern-day Paris and ended his brief life ravaged by syphilis and alcoholism. The story of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec can very easily simply become the oft-told tale of this quirky artist who, for better or worse, became as one with his own art and circle of motifs.
