Here are more of Toulouse-Lautrec’s paintings.
If you look closely at the painting above, you will see that Toulouse-Lautrec painted himself into the scene (background, center-left, short man, round hat).
Jean-Claude was fascinated by the face of the two women in the painting above. Below are closeups. The second face is especially haunting and poignant.

Another of Toulouse-Lautrec's famous posters was La Goulue.

The spectators above (left to right) are Félix Fénéon, Toulouse-Lautrec himself, Jane Avril, and Oscar Wilde. It's an interesting image of the pals hanging out together.
Below is a portrait of Toulouse-Lautrec painted by his friend Edouard Vuillard near the end of Toulouse-Lautrec's life.
The two paintings below depict singer Yvette Guilbert.
After seeing the stylistic depictions of Guibert, take a look at the more flattering depiction by another artist below.
Jean-Claude was intrigued by the small fellow in the corner of the painting.
Below, Toulouse-Lautrec painted famed dancer Loïe Fuller. Fuller was known for the Danse du Lys ("Dance of the Lily") dance. She twisted and turned in a free-flowing gown and held sticks to help flip the folds of the gown high in the air.

Below is a frame from a film of the same dancer and dance.
Jean Claude's favorite work in the exhibition appears below. In Paris, Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent Van Gogh took paintings lessons together and exhibited together.
Thanks for viewing the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition at the Grand Palais with us.
