Felix Edouard Vallotton (1865-1925) was a Swiss painter and printmaker renowned for his contributions to the Nabis movement and his innovative woodcuts. Born in Lausanne, Vallotton moved to Paris in 1882 to study at the Académie Julian. He quickly became associated with avant-garde circles, particularly the Nabis, alongside artists like Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. Vallotton's woodcuts, characterized by stark contrasts and bold lines, gained significant acclaim and influenced the art of printmaking. His paintings often depicted bourgeois life, exploring themes of intimacy, isolation, and the complexities of human relationships with meticulous detail and flat areas of color. Notable works include "The Bath. Summer Evening" (1892-1893) and "The Dinner" (1899). During World War I, Vallotton's art took on a more somber tone, reflecting the conflict's impact. Married to Gabrielle Rodrigues-Henriques, Vallotton found financial stability and artistic inspiration through his connections. His legacy endures through his masterful woodcuts and distinctive painting style, with his works held in major museums worldwide. Vallotton's art continues to be celebrated for its technical precision, narrative depth, and unique blend of realism and abstraction.
