Editorial Reviews

A CLUB IN MONTMARTRE is an excellent introduction to the work of Toulouse-Lautrec, who is too often seen as a caricature in pop culture because of his stature and his fondness for debauchery. By playing down the latter and focusing on his work as an artist, Resnick is able to bring a seriousness to him which works well as an introduction to his work.
