What do Domergue, a salon painter, and Toulouse Lautrec, a more daring painter, have in common?

Do you give your tongue to the cat?

They are both from the same family.

Jean Gabriel Domergue was the little cousin of Henri De Toulouse Lautrec.

Renowned for his long-necked silhouettes of elegant women, Domergue met this distant cousin Toulouse Lautrec in Montmartre and frequented his studio to discover the Moulin-Rouge and the dancers in his company.

So who is the good boy and the bad boy in the story?

Not necessarily the one you think.

Toulouse Lautrec is the loving look of a man who never tires of trying his luck.

Domergue will have, one will say, unfortunately behaviors which are not in the image of his magnificent paintings.

In any case beyond their family link, the woman will not cease to make them turn the head until dominating forever their work.
