Félix Vallotton

Abstract

This is the first comprehensive survey of Vallotton's career to be held in the UK. Through more than 80 paintings and prints, we explore an extraordinary body of work: from compelling portraits, magnetic still-lifes, luminescent landscapes and bitingly satirical prints, to interior scenes which reverberate with psychological tension. Often anticipating the emotionally charged paintings of Edward Hopper and the films of Alfred Hitchcock, these works demonstrate a legacy of vision that carried into the 20th century. ---- Exhibition: Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (30.06.-29.09.2019) / The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA (29.10.2019 - 26.01.2020).
