Meanwhile, in the life of Félix Edouard Vallotton
The whole life1889–1903 · Membership
Les Nabis
1890–1897
Art critic for the Gazette de Lausanne
To earn a living Vallotton restored paintings for the dealer Henri Haro, and from 1890 he wrote for the Swiss Gazette de Lausanne — some thirty articles on the Paris art world up to 1897.
1892
“The Foreign Nabi” and friendship with Vuillard
Among the Nabis — Bonnard, Roussel, Maurice Denis — Vallotton found a lifelong friend in Édouard Vuillard; he kept a little apart from the others, earning the jocular title of “the Foreign Nabi”.
1893–1897
Woodcuts for La Revue Blanche; the Natansons' patronage
His woodcuts brought Vallotton clients and financial security: he illustrated leading French periodicals, including La Revue Blanche, and foreign ones such as The Chap-Book of Chicago, and cut covers for theatre programmes and book illustrations. Thadée Natanson, publisher of La Revue Blanche, and his wife Misia became his patrons and introduced him to the Paris avant-garde elite — Mallarmé, Proust, Satie and Debussy.
1896
His album “Studies of Women” is published
A Paris publisher issued Vallotton's album “Studies of Women”.
