Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

French painter and illustrator (1864–1901)

Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French:[tuluzlotʁɛk]), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the sometimes decadent affairs of those times.

Born into the aristocracy, Toulouse-Lautrec broke both his legs around the time of his adolescence and, possibly due to the rare condition pycnodysostosis, was very short as an adult due to his undersized legs.

From 1891-1901, the artist produced nearly 350 lithographic posters, editions, portfolios, and illustrations for journals and theatre programs. Significantly, his career coincided with the birth of modern printmaking and the explosion of nightlife culture. Lautrec was an innovator of lithographic techniques and adopted an avant-garde style in both his paintings and prints. For example, Lautrec employed the splattered ink technique called crachis to dr

Paul & Anna-Belinda Firos: From Greece to America and Back again

September 19, 2018

Paul and Anna-Belinda Firos, both of Greek descent, divide their time between Weston, Connecticut and their home in Athens. Paul chuckles when asked to talk about his background. “It’s very complicated,” he says. “I am of Greek descent. My parents were Greek. But we were all born in Egypt. My father ran a successful business there. I really thought Egypt was the country in which I would always live.”

Then came the 1952 revolution, when the government was overthrown and people of foreign heritage no longer felt welcome.

“For many years after that, my father struggled to keep his business afloat. It was constantly being restricted and my parents struggled to find ways to survive in that nationalistic environment.” Eventually all foreigners in the country were asked to leave and Paul’s parents made the difficult decision to uproot their whole family.

“That’s how I ended up in Greece for the first time in 1963 at age 15, speaking no Greek. I had to learn the language to finish my studies. At
