About the Item

Louise Valtat was a French painter, printmaker and stage designer. He spent much of his youth in Versailles, moving in 1887 to Paris, where he studied under Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and under Jules Dupre at the Academie Julian. As early as 1893 Valtat exhibited at the Salon des Independants, La Libre Esthetique in Brussels in 1900, and the ground breaking Salon d' Automne in 1905 when he became known as one of the leading artists in the Fauvist movement when one of his canvases was reproduced in the magazine "L'Illustration" next to paintings by Henri Manguin, Henri Matisse, André Derain and Jean Puy.

Louis Valtat
Louis Valtat was identified by Ambroise Vollard as one of the most exciting painters working in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. On Renoir’s advice, Vollard agreed with Valtat to purchase almost all of the artist’s work for the first decade of the 20th century (1902–12) and to become his dealer and agent. The relationship was a fruitful one; Vollard went on to organize Valtat’s first solo exhibition at his gallery and submitted Valtat’s works to other exhibitions in Paris. In 1927, Louis Valtat was awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, which was considered the premier order of France. Throughout his career, Valtat remained true to his unique style and was never completely associated with a particular art movement, but influenced by many. Today, his works are found in important collections around the globe, including the Hermitage (St. Petersburg), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum (Madrid), the Musée des Beaux-Art (Bordeaux) and many others.
