Colour has greater potential as a means of expression. Flix Vallotton, in full Flix Edouard Vallotton, (born December 28, 1865, Lausanne, Switzerlanddied December 28, 1925, Paris, France), Swiss-born French graphic artist and painter known for his paintings of nudes and interiors and in particular for his distinctive woodcuts. As Bonnard said of the Nabi’s, “Art is not nature. ![]() Their densely painted interiors and brightly colored landscapes were intended to evoke feelings, not merely to represent the subjects but to lift them into another realm. Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Maurice Denis were all members, exploring worlds beyond the observable reality. It was these woodcuts that lead to an invitation to join the newly formed, radical, Nabi group of artists. In the early 1890s, he became a success with his satirical woodcut prints in a number of Parisian newspapers and journals. At the end of three years at the Académie, Vallotton was accepted in the official Parisian Salon. He soon left these classical subjects in favor of a move to Paris, where he studied painting at the Académie Julian. Whatever one makes of his work, the artist Vallotton was dedicated to his art, realizing an oeuvre of some seventeen hundred paintings, two-hundred and fifty prints, a thousand magazine and book illustrations, three novels, and eight plays, as well as fulfilling many ephemeral and decorative commissions. When Stein saw the painting, she said the painting was “ like pulling down a curtain as slowly moving as one of his Swiss glaciers.” Harsh criticism, but Stein was not noted for her subtle niceties. In 1907, the Swiss painter Félix Vallotton made a portrait of Gertrude Stein. ![]() ![]() Educated locally, and at the universities of Cambridge, and Stanford, California, he worked in political research, bookselling and publishing.
