I tried to describe the life of this person in my book. There is no room for speculation. I wanted to be as close to the truth as possible, to be extremely accurate. Needless to say, I spared no effort to achieve this goal? I read and compared everything that was published about Lautrec. I got acquainted with all the unpublished materials that I could find, interviewed people who knew the artist, visited the places where he lived, collected information about people who came across him in his stormy short life.
