Swiss, 1865–1925
Félix Vallotton was a Swiss painter and printmaker, known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement and his later association with the Nabis group. He was born on July 28, 1865, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Vallotton studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the works of Impressionists and Symbolists. He became a prominent figure in the Parisian art scene, exhibiting his work alongside notable artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. Vallotton's major works include 'The Bathers' and 'The Night', which showcase his unique approach to color and form, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color. His style evolved over time, moving from the Symbolist aesthetic to a more modernist approach, but he remained committed to exploring themes of intimacy and human emotion throughout his career. Vallotton passed away on December 29, 1925, in Paris, France, leaving behind a significant legacy in the world of modern art.
