A very lovely animation inspired by the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Rather than following any kind of narrative, the short basically serves as a mere vehicle to turn several of the Toulouse-Lautrec's sketchbooks into life, capturing perfectly well the stylish beauty of his drawings.
The montage of real Lautrec photos was an interesting glimpse into the reality this artist knew during his lifetime, immortalizing through his work the same bohemians, prostitutes and outcasts the society looked down.
Tragically enough, like Vincent van Gogh, Lautrec was also only appreciated after his death, a bitter fate often shared many artists to this very day.
Geniuses are often way ahead of their lifetime.
