Taking its name from an artists\u2019 colony that had established itself in a village, it has become a shorthand term encompassing the way the whole of rural Valais was depicted by a number of different artists: Ernest Bi\u00e9ler (1863\u20141948), Edmond Bille (1878\u20141959), Marguerite Burnat-Provins (1872\u20141952), Raphy Dall\u00e8ves (1878\u20141940), Albert Muret (1874\u20141955), \u00e9douard Vallet (1876\u20141929), and others. Selecting, reframing, aestheticizing, and idealizing the world they found, these artists painted the habits and customs of the simple mountain communities they regarded as a lost paradise.<br \/>\nThe book explores this example of rural primitivism\u2013a phenomenon that from Pont-Aven to Worpswede affected a large number of regions in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century\u2013 from three points of view: artistic, historical, and ethnographic. Intended as a reference work, this is also an extremely beautiful book, which re-evaluates a heritage of startlingly high artistic quality, giving regional iconography its due weight in comparison with international models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pascal Ruedin<\/strong>, expert in Swiss art and Director of the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art du Valais, in Sion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThis is how interest in rural life spread among us at the same time as rural life itself was in decline, and how a taste for our peasants\u2019 customs and costumes found its way into our art, just as those very customs and usages were vanishing.
