Vibrant colours, liberation of the touch and expressiveness are the characteristics of the work of this unclassifiable artist. He strives to transgress the codes of academic painting in favour of a painting that would be described as instinctive. We perceive the singularity of Louis Valtat, who, in order to give free rein to his sensibility, abstains from all aesthetic conventions. The artist, born in Dieppe on August 8, 1869, studied at the Lycée Hoche, located in the city of Versailles. Coming from a well-to-do family of Dieppe shipowners, Louis Valtat immediately developed a particular appetite for Art. Strongly encouraged by his father, the young man chose to enter the National School of Fine Arts in Paris in 1887, in the Atelier Gustave Moreau. There he obtained the Chauvin-Latinville Medal. In this context, he also attended the studios of Jules Lefebvre, mainly known for his bare bodies and his treatment of skin tones, Gustave Boulanger, renowned for his orientalist subjects, and Henri-Joseph Harpignies, a landscape painter from the Barbizon school. The artist also chose to follow a course of study at the Académie Julian, founded in 1868 by the French painter Rodolphe Julian. He trained with Jules Dupré and Gustave Boulanger, known for his travels in the Orient, who was succeeded by Benjamin-Constant, a painter and engraver renowned for his orientalist subjects. Louis Valtat also frequented Albert André, a figurative painter, Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis and Pierre Bonnard. The latter participated in the foundation of the post-impressionist group of the Nabis, an artistic movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, positioning itself on the margin of academic painting: they were in quest of a new mode of expression. The term "Nabi", meaning "prophet", is borrowed from Biblical Hebrew. It is proposed by the poet Henri Cazalis, to a circle of young painters created by Paul Sérusier. The aesthetics of Louis Valtat's work remains deeply marked by these strong artistic influences. For the first time, in 1893, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, created in December 1884 by Lucien Boué. Motivated by a strong desire to paint, Louis Valtat took part, at the end of 1894, in the creation of the sets for the Terracotta Cart, a classic Sanskrit play by Lugné-Poë, at the Théâtre de l'?uvre. In this project, he will be accompanied by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Albert André, post-impressionist artists. His engraved woodcuts, prints and paintings are featured in the Salon des Cent, an exhibition of French art designed by Léon Deschamps in 1893. We must mention the major role of Louis Valtat, who, imbued by the work of Gustave Moreau, gives a new value to colour: the latter no longer tends to evoke only reality, it is also enriched by a symbolic value. Indeed, the painter found himself associated with a scandal that revealed to the public a new post-impressionist aesthetic: Fauvism, which overturned the artistic codes of the early 20th century. The winter of 1895-96 became the scene of the artist's experiments: he chose to implement, in his own creations, new simplified forms, treated with pure colours, without accomplished perspectives or cast shadows. Forerunner of the movement that Matisse, Derain, Rouault and Vlaminck would take to its paroxysm, he managed to present 5 paintings in Room XV of the 1905 Salon d'Automne, alongside Kandinsky and Jawlensky. 32 avenue Marceau 75008 Paris | +33 (0)1 42 61 42 10 | +33 (0)6 07 88 75 84 | [email protected] | galeriearyjan.com Louis Valtat 1869-1952 It is probably thanks to this love of colour that Valtat was made as a "fauve". By renouncing dull tones, the artist favours a more lively, spontaneous and instinctive palette. Painter of his time, the painter does not need exceptional frames: nature is enough for him. He chooses to depict landscapes, familiar faces and flowery subjects, whose expression responds to his sensitivity. This composition by Valtat is part of a very fruitful period for the artist. A multitude of branches, nonchalantly arranged in a small terracotta jug, stand out against a dark background. Bunches of redcurrants sit on the table covered with a light-coloured tablecloth. The transparency of the fruit is achieved by juxtaposed points of light, justifying the volume of the stored fruit. Emblematic of the artist's work, this lively palette and freedom of touch are at the core of this canvas.

  • In Turn-Of-The-Century Paris, an Explosion of Brash New Art
    1 In Turn-of-the-Century Paris, An Explosion of Brash New Art Dubbed 'les Fauves' (the wild beasts) for their uninhibited use of color, these artists boldly rearranged the imagery of nature By Helen Dudar, Smithsonian, October, 1990 The scandal of the Parisian art world in 1905 was Room VII of the third annual Salon d'Automne in the Grand Palais, its walls throbbing with raw color. Color squeezed straight out of tubes; color assaulting the eye and senses; color that sometimes seemed to have been flung upon the canvas; color that dared to tint human flesh pea green and tree trunks a violent Andre Derain, The Turning Road, L’Estaque, 1906 red; color that not only refused to imitate nature but actually had been used to suggest form and depth. The signatures on the paintings bore the names of men some of whom, surviving notoriety, would soon be more or less famous. Henri Matisse, the oldest of them and the unlikely center of this radical new style, would flourish into his 85th year as one of the masters of our century. Andre Derain would, for a time, produce works of breathtaking originality and virtuosity. Albert Marquet and Henri Manguin, less than household names in our day, would be the best-sellers of the group because they turned out tamer work that was gentler to the untutored eye. Maurice de Vlaminck, a larger-than-life figure and a devout fabulist, would claim with some exaggeration that he was really the first to engage with the new style, and then, the first to abandon it.

  • Louis Valtat, Les Couturieres (The Dressmakers) Dieppe1869 – 1952 Paris
    Louis Valtat, Les Couturieres (The Dressmakers) Dieppe1869 – 1952 Paris oil on canvas, 1918 32 by 26 inches (81.3 by 66 cm) signed at the lower left: ‘L Valtat’ provenance: Private collection, France; Private collection, New York (1970 – 2017) literature: Jean Valtat, Louis Valtat: Catalogue de l’Oeuvre Peint, 1869-1952, Paris, 1977, vol. I, p. 153, no. 1371. note; Louis Valtat (fig. 1a) was an artist who over a long career worked in several styles and knew most of the significant masters of his time, including the older Impressionists such as Renoir, who even did his portrait (fig. 1b). Born in Dieppe into a well off family and raised in Versailles not far from Paris, Valtat was encouraged by his father, an amateur landscape painter, to pursue art. So in 1887 he moved to Paris to attend the École des Beaux-Arts and had a very traditional training with the esteemed master Gustave Moreau. Then he studied at the more liberal Académie Julian and became acquainted with the young Maurice Denis, Pierre Bonnard, and Eduard Vuillard who were to become the core of a group known as the “Nabis” (prophets). Like them, he developed at the time a style of simple forms and bright colors, applied in bold patterns. In 1894 he collaborated on theatrical designs with Toulouse-Lautrec. Establishing himself as an independent artist in 1890, Valtat began exhibiting at the Salon des Indépendants in 1893. His Landscape with Figure and Boat of 1899 (fig. 2a) shows him working in an Impressionist manner with bright dabs of pure color.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete, copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
