The exhibition will present a wide range of works, focusing mainly on Toulouse-Lautrec’s prints housed at the Gallery’s Department of Graphic Arts.

Pivotal points of the exhibition will include the urban space and how it stages gender and identity.

Innovative and visually radical, Toulouse-Lautrec’s sharp voyeuristic gaze takes us into a wildly proliferating world of entertainment. Here we find theatres, circuses, brothels, cafés, and dancehalls – a world in which urbanites bring their desires into play, regardless of gender or class.
