Extreme Measure, plate six from Intimacies
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white drawing by the renowned Swiss artist Félix Vallotton, created in 1898. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the late 19th century and is currently housed in the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing is a poignant depiction of a distraught couple in a dining room, their intimate moment interrupted by an intense emotional outburst. Vallotton's masterful use of contrast and shading creates a striking visual narrative, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the story unfolding before them. Félix Vallotton was a key figure in the Nabis artistic movement, a group of French artists who sought to break away from the traditional Impressionist style. This drawing is a prime example of Vallotton's unique approach to post-impressionism, with its graphic, illustrative style and conceptual underpinnings. The scene is set indoors, with the couple seated at a dining table, their faces etched with emotion. The man, with a look of shock and disbelief, reaches out to grab the woman, who is in the throes of a crying fit. The table, once laden with food and dishes, now stands as a symbol of the disrupted dinner, a reminder of the turmoil that has ensued. This powerful drawing was originally published in the French literary magazine La Revue Blanche, further highlighting Vallotton's multifaceted talents as an artist and illustrator. Today, it continues to captivate audiences and inspire new interpretations, making it an invaluable addition to the Art Institute of Chicago's impressive collection. Whether viewed as a commentary on love and relationships, a parody of romantic clichés, or a simple depiction of human emotion, "Extreme Measure, plate six from Intimacies" is a work of art that transcends time and continues to resonate with viewers.
