The life of Henri Lautrec, told by the artist himself in a sort of autobiographical fiction. A great painter, no approvable with others who have been part of the artistic avant-garde of Paris at the end of '800. An original personality who captured the glittering reality and raw all the groups of the cabarets of Montmartre, who lived intimately doing here her life and career.
Unlike the stereotypical judgments, which often define this artist a dandy and a bon vivant, as this book shows the figure of a real man, who lives and exceeds the drama of his own physical deformity through the intense experiences of life and at the same time he plays with his art movements and impulses that animate this specific context, and full of humanity.
Finally a book that explores the artist's relationship with his female universe vast and varied and the influence it has had on his vast and articulated artistic production.
The event is organized by the Istituto Storico Lucchese, Section Pescia-Montecarlo-Valdinievole, under the patronage of the Municipality of Montecarlo. This will be the author Franco Donatini that will converse with the audience.
