The Swiss artist F\u00e9lix Vallotton (1865\u20131925) was born in Lausanne but spent most of his working life in France. Although he was a close friend of Pierre Bonnard and \u00c9douard Vuillard and a member of the avant-garde Nabis group, Vallotton has often been eclipsed by his more illustrious contemporaries. He painted some of his most important works in Paris in the 1890s, but an original and innovative approach was a feature of his work throughout his career. He had a preference for interiors and portraits, while not eschewing nudes and landscapes. Witnessing the carnage and devastation of the First World War, Vallotton\u2019s work became charged with symbolic significance.<\/p>\n
This book includes contributions by the chief experts on Vallotton, in which they examine the artist\u2019s life, work, and influence, with the aim of reassessing not only his oeuvre as a whole, but also his legacy. The book\u2019s many illustrations include all the best-known paintings and prints, as well as a number of works never previously published.<\/p>\n
