EDITORS COMMENTS
Félix Vallotton's "Laziness," created in 1896, is a captivating print that depicts a scene of pure relaxation and idleness. The image features a woman lying on a divan in a bedroom, surrounded by various cats that seem to be lounging and even petting her. The woman's nakedness and the casualness of the cats add an element of playful satire to the scene, making it a parody of the concept of laziness. This artwork is a prime example of the Nabis artistic movement, which emerged in France during the late 19th century as a post-impressionist response to the traditional artistic norms of the time. Vallotton's use of graphic design and patterned elements in the print, such as the intricate bedspread and the striped wallpaper, add depth and texture to the image. "Laziness" is a beloved piece of heritage art that has been exhibited in numerous galleries and art institutions around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. The print's enduring popularity is a testament to its ability to capture the human experience of relaxation and the playful relationship between people and animals. The image invites viewers to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of the natural world, as embodied by the woman and her feline companions. With its timeless depiction of laziness and its intricate design, "Laziness" remains a beloved work of art that continues to inspire and delight audiences more than a century after it was created.
