This catalog reveals to the general public the decisive role of the Libourne painter René Princeteau in the vocation and career of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It is true that his contribution was as essential as it was discreet. It is only revealed today through the reading of family archives and the comparative study of the work of the two artists.
This book is based on the childhood and youthful drawings of the man who became "the soul of Montmartre," but also on later creations in which it is still possible to distinguish the mark and repertoire of Princeteau's early teachings. The passions and themes shared by both artists structure this richly illustrated book around three main subjects: horses, the representation of everyday life, and the circus.
With texts by Bertrand du Vignaud de Villefort, great-nephew of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec; Florence Saragoza, director of the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi; Caroline Fillon, director of the Libourne Museum of Fine Arts, which houses one of the largest public collections of works by René Princeteau, and Pauline Leclercq of the Château Malromé in Gironde, where Lautrec died in 1901.
