Lautrec is famous for documenting the seedy underbelly of Paris in the late 19th century. I watched a documentary about his life a few years ago. Interesting stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like most of his work, he's able to capture very naturalistic expressions while sending a message. It was painted in the 1870s and making the younger guy in lighter colours, struggling with the harness probably reflects a growing sense that coming generations wouldn't tolerate things staying the same in Russia. ...or he did that bit last and he only he had lighter coloured paint left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a book in a second hand bookshop called "Picture This" by Joseph Heller (author of Catch-22). It's all about the Rembrandt painting above of Aristotle (a bugger for the bottle) and is a damn good read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
