Toulouse- Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: PARIS 1880-1910 Details
Review “La Vie Moderne explores the ways these artists defined their art as “modern;” truly celebrating a special—and highly creative—time in history. This is one that should be added to every art lover’s library!” ~Art of the Times“The book is a work of art…gives its readers a great oversight of French history and an explanation of what was happening in France at the turn of the century as how artist and their work were influenced by important political and cultural events. It is a truly a fascinating and informative book for anyone who appreciates art or just wants to learn a little more. If you can not make it to the Orsay or the Louvre, Toulouse-Lautrec will take you on a great trip through the work of French artists.” ~Chocolate and croissants.blogspot. “I highly recommend this lavish exhibition alum for anyone with an interest in ‘la vie moderne,’ French art history, or simply art itself!” ~invitinghistorybookreviews.blogspot Read more About the Author Phillip Dennis Cate is director emeritus of the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University and an independent scholar and guest curator of this exhibition.

Reviews
More of an overview of late 19th century art in France than a book on Lautrec.Bad title for the book should be titled La Vie Moderne: PARIS 1880-1910.
