Born in the south of France in 1864, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec chose to rebel against his aristocratic lineage by immersing himself in the bohemian life of the monmartre distric of Paris by the time he was in his mid twenties. The cafes, cabarets, entertainers and artists of this area completely fascinated him and the rhythm and energy of this cafe life was directly translated into his work.

In addition to his sketches and full scale paintings the originality of the style he developed is particularly evident in his posters. He rejected the  notion of high art in the tradition medium of oil on canvas. In 1891 he made his first poster. These posters became the "visual signature of the epoch." He created more than 30 posters in the 10 years before his death in 1901. Also, before his death, in 1894 publisher Andre Marty commissioned Toulouse-Lautrec to illustrate journalist Gustave Geffoy's text on the popular cabaret performer Yvetter Guilbert. The resulting collaboration was arguably the first modern illustrated book.
