Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec and his Contemporaries
June 1, 2012–September 9, 2012

Posters of Paris examines the story of the French artistic poster in all its complexity. In addition to the posters themselves, this exhibition features rare preparatory drawings and watercolors, maquettes, and proofs to show how the artist went from idea to final execution. The show will highlight work and artists well known to the public—Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Mucha—as well as artists less familiar, but equally as powerful in their impact on the affiche artistique in fin-de-siècle Paris.
