Toulouse-Lautrec & Jane

The summer exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery in London is one of those "landmark" shows: Toulouse-Lautrec and Jane Avril: Beyond The Moulin Rouge, which opens on 16 June and runs until 18 September (title link). For the first time the friendship and creative partnership between the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and the exotic dancer Jane Avril is explored, showing his portraits of Jane as well his most famous paintings, posters and prints from international collections. Looks good. Prices aren't too bad either: adults £6, silver surfers £4.50 (plus £1 if you book online). Under 18's and Art Fund members are free, so this could be a family visit over the school summer holidays.
