From Mike Venezia:  Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, France in 1864. He is best known for the lively scenes he painted of theatres, dance halls, and circuses in the exciting city of Paris, France. Henri?s painting styles were known as Realism and Postimpressionism.

The ?Getting to Know the World?s Greatest Artists? series features numerous reproductions (10-20 in each book), photos of the artist, silly cartoons, and simple text. Venezia?s approach ? highlighting interesting parts of the artists? lives and work while keeping the subject matter simple and appropriate for young children ? makes these excellent read-alouds. Older children will enjoy reading the early chapter book-level text themselves.
