– Felix Vallotton tried to capture the spirit of his time on the canvases. In 1927, in the homeland of the artist (during his lifetime, he was not much appreciated there), large commemorative exhibitions were held (Lausanne, Bern), and, in the exposition of 1938 in Zurich, the organizers presented almost 350 works by an outstanding master. A diversely gifted artist worked in the genres of landscape and still life, interior and portrait, created a series of “nu”, close in style to Art Nouveau, and also wrote several novels and plays. Wood engravings (woodcut) in the masterful performance of Vallotton were very widely known.
He was born in Swiss Lausanne into the family of notary Protestant Arman Adrien Vallotton and Louise Roseng, the daughter of a baker. Felix Edouard Vallotton was a Swiss and French artist and graphic artist, illustrator and master of engraving, who joined the Nabis group (translated from the Hebrew “Prophets”) when the groups work was in full bloom.
