Imens i livet hos Ferdinand Hodler
Hele livet1908–1918
Post: chairperson
1913
Valentine's illness: a cycle at her bedside
In 1913 Valentine Godé-Darel was diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer; the many hours Hodler spent at her bedside produced a remarkable series of paintings recording her decline. She was operated on in January and again in June 1914.
October 1913
Birth of his daughter Pauline
In October 1913 Hodler and Valentine Godé-Darel had a daughter, Pauline — three months before her mother's first operation in January 1914.
1914
Protest against the shelling of Reims Cathedral
In 1914 Hodler signed a petition of Geneva intellectuals condemning the German artillery bombardment of Reims Cathedral, and refused to withdraw his signature despite pressure from Swiss and German friends. In retaliation he was expelled from several German art associations (by other accounts, from all of them).
January 1915
Death of Valentine Godé-Darel
Valentine's death in January 1915 affected Hodler deeply.
November 1917
Pulmonary oedema
By 1917 Hodler's health was failing; in November he fell ill with pulmonary oedema and told his son he was contemplating suicide.
