About this artwork

Félix Vallotton had a talent for crafting 'La Paresse' (Laziness), a black and white woodcut print, with sleek and flowing lines, portraying a bare woman teasingly petting a cat. Vallotton played a significant role in the evolution of modern woodcuts, often experimenting with methods that highlighted flatness and straightforwardness. By emphasizing large white spaces, like the woman's body and her stretched out cat, Vallotton achieved a deceptively simple yet skewed perspective. These white spaces were offset by complex black designs, creating an ornamented unity.

About the artist

Born on December 28, 1865 in Lausanne, Switzerland, Félix Vallotton was an artist of unique originality, despite not achieving the celebrity of his pioneering contemporaries. He carved a distinctive path through an array of artistic expressions, including portraits, satirical prints, interior narratives, landscapes, and still lifes.

His early talent in printmaking attracted the attention of artists Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, leading to his inclusion in the Nabis group. Although he didn't quite fit in with the Nabis, it ushered him into a vibrant literary and bohemian circle. Through these relationships, Vallotton found a distinctive path, gaining prominence via his innovative satirical woodcuts for progressive left-wing publications.

Vallotton's journey didn't stop at printmaking. As his career matured, he shifted focus towards painting, applying his printmaking techniques to his works. His unique blend of Realism and Symbolism resulted in pieces that emanated an uncanny psychological tension. Vallotton's death occurred in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Paris, France on December 29, 1925, but his legacy persists in his compelling body of work.
