Practice Post #6 - Internet Research

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Jane Avril. c. 1893. Poster; lithograph printed in 5 colors.


1) Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec uses people as the subjects in his artwork. He captures peopel in daily life and emphasizes the movement of people with colors.

2) He uses photography, painting and  print as a medium. For example, he takes a picture of a person or people at first then he sketches with oil on the litho stone then he prints it. In his sketch, he tries to show the motion of subject which is not in the picture.

3) I like his style because i saw many printings look similar but he has his own styles and it is very special. i believe it is great to create own style and it has to be respected.'
