EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's masterpiece, "A Standing Gentleman Lighting his Cigar". Painted in 1885, this oil on wood artwork captures the essence of a sophisticated man indulging in a moment of leisure. The sole figure stands tall and elegant, exuding an air of confidence and refinement. The gentleman is depicted in full length, wearing a top hat, jacket, waistcoat, and holding a cane. With rough outlines and linear lines that form the contours of his figure, Toulouse-Lautrec's style is both sketchy and not detailed. This post-impressionist approach adds to the avant-garde nature of the painting. In this particular scene, all attention is focused on the act of lighting a cigar. The artist skillfully portrays this moment with precision as wisps of smoke begin to curl upwards from the lit end. The absence of any background allows viewers to fully appreciate the subject's gesture without distraction. As one explores this remarkable piece further, it becomes evident that Toulouse-Lautrec masterfully combines simplicity with sophistication. His ability to capture fleeting moments through bold strokes creates an intriguing visual narrative that transcends time. Displayed at Musee Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, France; this iconic painting continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless charm and artistic brilliance.
