The Bath (Le Bain), 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut print by Swiss artist Felix Edouard Vallotton. This exquisite piece, measuring 21.6x25.4 cm, can be found in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In this fin de siècle artwork, Vallotton skillfully captures a moment of intimate domesticity. The scene unfolds within a bourgeois bathroom where a naked woman patiently waits for her bath to be prepared. Her body is delicately draped with a towel as she stands beside an elegantly designed bathtub. The graphic style and art nouveau influences are evident in the bold lines and intricate details of the woodblock print. Vallotton was associated with Les Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists who sought to create innovative and symbolic works. The presence of a maid serving as both servant and witness adds another layer to the narrative. The contrast between the nude woman's vulnerability and the maid's professional detachment highlights societal divisions within Parisian bourgeoisie homes during that era. Vallotton masterfully explores themes of privacy, femininity, and social dynamics through his portrayal of this private moment shared between two women from different walks of life. "The Bath (Le Bain), 1894" remains an iconic example of Vallotton's artistic prowess and continues to captivate viewers with its evocative depiction of everyday life at the turn-of-the-century Parisian bourgeoisie household.
