EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a vibrant street scene in Paris during the late 19th century. Painted by Felix Edouard Vallotton, this piece titled "Street Scene in Paris (Coin de rue a Paris)" showcases his mastery of gouache and oil on cardboard. Measuring at 35.9x29.5 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The image depicts a bustling cityscape filled with activity and movement. The streets are alive with pedestrians going about their daily routines, while carriages navigate through the busy traffic. The graphic style employed by Vallotton adds an element of dynamism to the composition. This snapshot of fin de siècle society offers a glimpse into the bourgeois lifestyle prevalent during that era. The presence of shops indicates commercial prosperity, while figures from different walks of life populate the scene - from well-dressed individuals to working-class citizens. Les Nabis, an avant-garde group that sought to revolutionize art at the time, heavily influenced Vallotton's work. Their influence can be seen in his use of bold colors and simplified forms. Overall, this painting beautifully encapsulates the essence of street life in Paris during this period - its energy, diversity, and constant motion. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today.
