French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a superb draftsman. Possessing the extraordinary ability to memorize action, he was able to convey rapid movement in his drawings with merely a few strokes. Graphic in nature, his works — especially his sketches — are of striking originality and power. In his brief but enormously productive lifetime (he died at the age of 37), Toulouse-Lautrec created thousands of sketches. This little-known volume includes 85 of his most striking early efforts, the majority of them studies of horses.
