A bareback riders skirt ripples in the breeze, an acrobat bends his muscular limbs into a handstand, and a poodle obeys a clown brandishing a whip. The circus is in town! These kaleidoscopic visions from under the big top offer audiences a series of postImpressionistic sideshows, courtesy of thirtynine brilliant crayon drawings in the distinctive style of ToulouseLautrec.These scenes took place far from the artists customary haunts, the bars and cafes of Montmartre. While ToulouseLautrec was at the height of his artistic powers, he was compelled to undergo treatment for alcoholism at a country clinic. Seeking relief from his forced confinement, he sketched vignettes from a local circus troupes rehearsals. His sensitive interpretations of the scenes reflect the cruelty behind the performers exotic feats, as well as his selfimage as an entertainer, an outsider, and a captive.Although these drawings are masterpieces of composition and movement, the artist gave them away. The originals were scattered across Europe and America for decades, until an intrepid collector tracked them down. These reproductions are the work of a noted lithographer, Fernand Mourlot, whose skill recaptures the color and spirit of ToulouseLautrecs works.
