Critique d’art"},"content":{"rendered":"

This book illustrates F\u00e9lix Vallotton\u2019s work as an art critic, in which the artist was able to exploit his training to turn his penetrating eye on the Parisian art scene at the turn of the century.<\/strong><\/p>\n

F\u00e9lix Vallotton penned his first art criticism in 1890, at a pivotal moment in his own career as an artist. He was to write some forty articles by 1921 appearing mostly in La Gazette de Lausanne <\/em>and essays on art. Writing mainly for a Suisse Romand readership, he expressed himself freely in a very unaffected, even ironic, tone which made no bones about his own aesthetic preferences.
\nThe present project was coordinated jointly by the Fondation F\u00e9lix Vallotton and the Institut Suisse pour l\u2019\u00e9tude de l\u2019Art (SI-ISEA) and consists of the re-publication of a critical, annotated, and illustrated edition of all his writings which are currently virtually inaccessible, namely twenty-three pieces on the Salons and other collective exhibitions in Paris, ten monographs on ancient and modern artists, two essays on art, and five replies to enquiries. Each article is preceded by an explanatory introduction and accompanied by a critical apparatus consisting of notes and illustrations.
\nThe book includes a pair of introductory essays by Rudolf Koella and Katia Poletti: one on the place art criticism has in Vallotton\u2019s oeuvre on the one hand, and the other on his view of his predecessors and contemporaries. The lavish illustrations enable both the general reader and the expert to appreciate for himself Vallotton\u2019s opinions on works that are sometimes forgotten or inaccessible.<\/p>\n

Rudolf Koella<\/strong> is an art writer and exhibition organizer, mounting several exhibitions devoted to Vallotton in Switzerland and Germany. His part in the project includes the essay on Vallotton\u2019s assessment of his predecessors, as well as commentaries on Vallotton\u2019s monographs, his writings on art, and his replies to enquiries.
\nKatia Poletti<\/strong> is a curator at the Fondation F\u00e9lix Vallotton and collaborated on the catalogue raisonn\u00e9, F\u00e9lix Vallotton. L\u2019\u00c5\u2019uvre peint<\/em>. On this occasion, she contributed the essays on Vallotton\u2019s opinion of his contemporaries and art criticism\u2019s place in Vallotton\u2019s oeuvre, as well as commentaries on Vallotton\u2019s criticism of various collective exhibitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
