The exhibition shows some 270 graphic works from the 1890s, including more than 140 by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. A particular emphasis here are his wonderful coloured lithographs. Coloured graphic works by the artistic group of the Nabis, but also by successful illustrators and poster artists such as Alfons Mucha, Pierre Bonnard, Jules Chéret or Alexandre Théophile Steinlein complete the overview of the era and its leading artistic genre.
