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.

Revisiting my L.A. solo show

It was called "Dreamgirls and Ukes". It took place at Thinkspace in L.A. in Feb 2009.

There were 15 paintings and 13 painted ukes. The Hokum Scorchers (Lou Reimuller and I)

 played music at the opening. 

Here's one of my paintings- "Monkey Love Song" (Amy Crehore).
