This review is from: Toulouse-Lautrec (Colour Library) (Paperback)

"Toulouse-Lautrec" by Edward Lucie-Smith is a great book on Lautrec, mostly from the biographic standpoint. Lucie-Smith is also very amusing when examining plates of Lautrec, for the most part he points out the style--then procedes to tell the reader who is in the plate, and their relationship to Lautrec. One of whom was Emile Bernard's obessed mistress, who added Bernard as her last name. For the most part this book was really interesting because of the funny tidbits that Smith throws in. The plates are decent, they are on adverage a little more than a a half a page, with really good color, and you can see most of the brush strokes.
