Inspired by the work of Paul Gauguin and Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), the Nabis sought to break away from the traditional academic style and embrace a more decorative and symbolic approach to art. In 1891, Vallotton became a member of the Nabis, an avant-garde group of French artists that included Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, and Maurice Denis, among others. His early paintings featured landscapes and still lifes, but he later gained recognition for his woodcut prints and paintings that depicted scenes from contemporary life, often with a satirical or critical edge. Vallotton's work was characterized by his diverse range of subjects and styles. ![]() He was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, and later moved to Paris, where he spent most of his artistic career. Félix Vallotton (Decem– December 29, 1925) was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker associated with the post-Impressionist movement, particularly the Nabis group. ![]()
