Louis Valtat (1869-1952) - Colioure, France
Louis Valtat was one of the most important French post-impressionists and fauvists. Valtat was educated in Paris and was friends with Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Aristide Maillol, Auguste Renoir and Paul Signac, among others. At the end of the 19th century he was in contact with Les Nabis; in 1896 he showed at the Paris Salon works painted with pure colors and a coarse touch that then announced all Fauvism. Valtat made many trips abroad and in the period 1899-1913 was regularly in the southern French town of Anthéor for a longer period of time. In 1900, the well-known Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard was granted the exclusive right to trade Valtat's paintings and ensured that his work could be seen at all major avant-garde exhibitions at home and abroad. Valtat painted (flower) still lifes, nudes, portraits, landscapes and genre pieces.
