Toulouse-Lautrec and Smyrna-Vinings student artwork at the High

Through March 24, Lovett School student artwork from grades K through 12 is on display as part of the school's new academic affiliate program with the museum.

A rainy day in metro Atlanta is the perfect day to escape to the world of turn-of-the-century Paris.

Currently on display at the High Museum of Art in midtown are the works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. His prints and lithographs serve as the centerpiece of an exhibition that also features sculptures from the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries by such artists as Cordier and Dalou.

Also featured at the High are the works of about a dozen young Lovett School artists from Smyrna, Vinings and Mableton. Through March 24, student artwork from grades K through 12 is on display as part of the school’s new academic affiliate program with the museum.
