What a great artist Felix Vallotton was. He was prolific and there are many examples to be found of his work online, however I was only familiar with a couple of his images in books that I have at home. 

Here are a handful of nudes that I found recently when googling his images. His art has a clean, smart sense of design. He had a wonderful feeling for dynamic color and form. 

He even did a portrait of Gertrude Stein. 

Félix Edouard Vallotton (December 28, 1865 – December 29, 1925) was a 

Swiss painter associated with Les Nabis.
