A celebration of Franco-Swiss artist F lix Vallotton, coinciding with a major retrospective in his hometown of Lausanne. F lix Vallotton (1865-1925) remains a fascinating artist to this day. His paintings and prints, as well as his work as an illustrator and press cartoonist, are characterized by detached and critical observation, satirical sharpness, and a strong sense of independence. A century after his death, film director and screenwriter Lionel Baier, art historians Dario Gamboni and Choghakate Kazarian, literary scholar and writer Daniel Maggetti, and curators Catherine Lepdor and Katia Poletti share their views on Vallotton's art and their enduring passion for it. The French-language Vallotton Forever is published to coincide with a major retrospective at the Mus e cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Vallotton's native city of Lausanne, which is home to the world's most comprehensive collection of his works. The volume celebrates an extraordinary artist who is recognized as one of the greats of art history in both his native Switzerland and his adopted home of France. It brings together key works from all periods of Vallotton's career, from the early years and the iconic works of the Nabis period in the 1890s to his sophisticated dialogue with tradition in the modern era that marks his later years.
