Lugne Poe and Baldy in "Au-dessus des forces humaines" (Lugne Poe et Baldy dans "Au-desses des forces humaines") is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this lithograph, a man and a woman are shown in a dramatic pose. The man, dressed in a long coat, is standing with his arms raised, while the woman is seated with her head turned towards him. The scene is set against a dark background, which adds to the sense of drama and tension. The use of black lithography creates a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the emotions and expressions of the figures. The artist's use of bold lines and shading adds to the overall sense of drama and intensity. This lithograph is reminiscent of the work of Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de, who was known for his bold and expressive use of color and composition.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
