THE OBJECTS OF TOULOUSE-LAUTREC’S LOVE

On the subject of love, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec once said to singer Yvette Guilbert “Ah love! Love! (…) Now if you sang about desire, one could understand and even laugh at the variety of its tricks… But love, my poor Yvette, there is no such thing!” The only woman who came as close as anyone to capturing his heart was Marie-Clémentine Valadon, better known as Suzanne Valadon.
