Early printing of this compendium of the works of Toulouse Lautrec. Quarto, illustrated with black and white and tipped-in color plates. From the library of American actor Zachary Scott, the first husband of Elaine Scott who later married writer John Steinbeck. Scott is best remembered for his many roles as villains and “mystery men” in dozens of musical comedies, film noirs, and psychological thrillers throughout the 1940s and 50s including Hollywood Canteen, The Unfaithful, Shotgun, Man in the Shadow, and The Young One. In very good condition with Scott’s bookplate to the pastedown.
One of the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period, French painter, printmaker, and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec produced a dramatic and enticing body of work, capturing the colorful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century. His debt to the Impressionists, particularly the more figurative painters like Manet and Degas, is apparent, that within his works, one can draw parallels to the detached barmaid at A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Manet and the behind-the-scenes ballet dancers of Degas. His style was also influenced by the classical Japanese woodblock prints which became popular in art circles in Paris.
