Here are the matches for the artists with their descriptions:

1. **Created a niche for making posters**: **Lautrec**
(Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is well known for his iconic posters, especially those depicting life in Parisian cabarets.)

2. **Focused on capturing the true emotion of the subject**: **Gauguin**
(Paul Gauguin is known for his expressive use of color and form to capture the emotional essence of his subjects, particularly in his later works influenced by his time in Tahiti.)

3. **Time with coal miners affected both the artist's color choice and subject matter**: **Van Gogh**
(Vincent van Gogh’s time in the Borinage coal-mining region influenced his color palette and choice of subjects, reflecting the grim reality of the miners' lives.)

4. **Works are so similar to Degas' style that it is almost as if the artist was instructed to use Degas' paintings as a template**: **Gauguin**
(This description could also refer to the influence Degas had on many artists, but in the context of Gauguin's early works where he was influenced by Impressionism, it makes sense here.)

So the correct set would be:
- Lautrec: created a niche for making posters
- Gauguin: focused on capturing the true emotion of the subject
- Van Gogh: time with coal miners affected both the artist's color choice and subject matter
- The last description is likely intended for an artist closely associated with Degas' style, which aligns with the Impressionists, but if strictly following the three artists mentioned, they would be left unresolved.
