Description
Adolphe Albert sits as a darkly represented figure behind a table, with dense hatched marks giving the interior a substantial presence. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec portrays the named master printmaker within a concentrated setting. The encounter connects the person with the graphic language of the image itself, allowing a maker of prints to become the human center of a printed work.
The 1898 lithograph is printed in black on wove paper. Its own printed form creates a close relationship between medium and named subject, bringing a printmaker into the visual language of a print. The work’s interest lies in that particular connection, allowing the portrayed individual to remain central while the image’s material character offers another way of considering the occupation associated with him.
