Product Description

George Melly, Mail on Sunday

“Deals seriously and sensitively with Lautrec’s progress as an artist, his academic training and the audacious use he put it to. Almost everyone from Manet to the young Picasso crosses the stage…. A tragic story, but a triumphant one also.”


Product Description

Debauched aristocrat, cabaret painter or accidental dwarf: Julia Frey's definitive biography uses meticulous research to strip away the myth of Toulouse-Lautrec and reveal for the first time the tortured man beneath. 'The book deals seriously and sensitively with Lautrec's progress as an artist, his academic training and the audacious use he put it to. Equally, readers in search of the ooh-la-la side of Paris during the Belle Epoque won't feel short-changed. Almost everyone from Manet to the young Picasso crosses the stage. It is of course a tragic story, but a triumphant one also' George Melly, Mail on Sunday

5.0 out of 5 stars a suprising read, 10 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Henri Toulouse Lautrec (Hardcover)
i read this book with the intention of picking out a few details here and there to include in an essay i was writing. however as i started reading i got more and more interested and read the entire book.

the book gives great details about Lautrecs life which i found interetsing and inspiring. including how his family and society rejected him, how he fell into his art career and made friends with the people of Montmartre. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a slight interest in Lautrec. you will learn alot from him

1.0 out of 5 stars A dull watercolour of a great artist, 8 Dec 2000
For all the new documentation Julia Frey had at her fingertips she's somehow managed to paint a very lacklustre picture. Her wishy washy brush sloshes aimlessly around the diminuitive artist in shades of grey. Oh she has the facts I'm sure, thousands of facts, more facts than you can stick in a file o' facts, but can she draw?... Can she paint?...Can she write interestingly? Sadly for Julia Frey cliche will always remain a quaint little village nestled in the hills somewhere between Paris and Texas.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is probably the most authoritative work on TL yet, 10 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Henri Toulouse Lautrec (Hardcover)
Julia Frey's book is so startlingly graphic of Lautrec and his Montmartre world that one wonders if some of the text uses poetic licence. Frey, however, backs up most of her statements with an exhausting archive of documents. While she modestly presents her work as a Colorado University paper, she has done a brilliant job. I, and a number of my friends, have used her book to enrich our travels to Europe and especially Paris. Julia, you should consider writing a book on the Montmartre, something which has not been authoritatively done as yet, in my and many people's opinion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Facts yes:story no!
I thought the biography of Toulouse-Lautrec would be very interesting considering the famous people he encountered in his short but colourful life. Read more
