Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec: The Artist Who Was Crippled
(Physically Challenged, nonfiction series)
written by Jennifer Fisher Bryant
Chelsea House, 1995
A biography of French painter and lithographer, Toulouse-Lautrec, who overcame the effects of a rare bone disease to become one of the most well-known artists of our world. He introduced unconventional subject matter to the art world by chronicling the nightlife of fin de siècle Paris.
Although Lautrec’s works were generally scorned by the 19th-century public, today they are exhibited by the great museums of the world.
