“Toulouse-Lautrec, Resolutely Modern” exhibition – Grand Palais

25/09/2019

The Louis Roederer Foundation, Major Patron of Culture and Arts, continues its partnership with the Grand Palais sponsoring the “Toulouse-Lautrec. Resolutely modern” exhibition from 9 October 2019 to 27 January 2020.

I saw many reasons to associate the Louis Roederer Foundation with the very fine retrospective that the Grand Palais will be dedicating to Toulouse-Lautrec from October this year. Still an extremely popular artist today, this exhibition has received the exceptional support of Toulouse-Lautrec’s birth town of Albi along with that of the BnF, the holder of his entire lithographic work. The red hues of autumn are well suited to Toulouse-Lautrec, a brilliant colorist and a lover and friend of photography, and the Louis Roederer Foundation is obviously thrilled to be sponsoring such an important exhibition. The great stature of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who gave his century the finest and most accurate expression of its freedom, is being revealed by those who love him with delicate complicity.
