Felix Vallotton’s Intimacies Series, and the Vagaries of Narrative Art in the Last Decade of the Nineteenth Century

Presented by Zygote Senior Program Manager, Brittany M. Hudak

"For this talk, I will be examining Félix Vallotton's woodcuts--in particular his series of 10 woodcuts titled "Intimacies" (Intimités), printed in 1898. With these emotionally raw images, Vallotton probes the private lives of the bourgeoisie. Revealing scenes usually held behind closed doors, Vallotton’s prints demonstrate shifting attitudes about sex and morality in fin-de-siecle Paris. They show the pitfalls and struggles of love and relationships by means of theatrical scenes and suggestive titles, such as The Lie, The Money and The Irreparable."
