Vignette-Rich Boy,Made Good

Genetics,kept his stature,small
'As is life' became his call
Graphic posters on city walls;
Murals,pasted,for just a while
Now,timeless.signatures his style

Th Warhol of the 1890's Hernri Toulouse Lautrec 1864-1901

Interesting art work by a man who took what life gave him and used it despite his inheritance and health conditions. Thanks for the comments on my work. Keep writing. Sara

And timeless they are! So recogonizable, his art, ahead of his time. Small man...yet bigger than life! Carrie
