      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Louis Valtat was a French Post-Impressionist painter born in Dieppe and raised near Versailles. His style was very expressive, and some art critics have compared him to fellow painter Vincent van Gogh. Some art historians attribute the early ideas of Fauvism to Valtat whose style was ahead of his time. At 17, Valtat enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux Arts and also attended the Academie Julian. It was at Julian that Valtat met and became friends with fellow artists Pierre Bonnard and Albert Andre.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">La Repasseuse 1908</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">By 1890, Valtat had his own workshop in Paris and participated in the salons for the first time in 1893. The following year, Valtat worked alongside Toulouse-Lautrec creating theater scenery. During this time, he was also creating engravings which were exhibited with his paintings at the Salon des Cent. Valtat eventually became known for his city scenes, still life paintings and landscapes.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img border="0" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/valtat/Valtat_PortDuRochelle.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Port de la Rochelle</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Valtat traveled often, making several trips to Spain. He also suffered from consumption, which required him to travel abroad often to seek medical attention. One of his most frequently visited places was Arcachon, France, a popular location among those suffering from ailments. While he recuperated there, Valtat continued to paint and created striking landscapes in bold colors. These paintings created by Valtat in 1895 would be a precursor to Fauvism and were shocking to the art community.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img border="0" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/valtat/ATT00196.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Bouquet d’ Anemones 1905</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">These early Fauve landscapes were ten years ahead of the movement, which was still a shock to art critics and appreciators when it came into popularity in 1905. Though he would later be wrongly labeled a “Fauve” painter along with Derain and Manguin when they unveiled their scandalous pieces at the 1905 Salon d’Automne, Valtat did not necessarily associate himself with the group.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Violet Cliffs 1900</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He continued to travel throughout France for much of his career, frequenting locations like Antheor and Agay, a small fishing village. Durin the turn of the century, Valtat and his wife, Suzanne, would bike across the countryside, sometimes to visit his friend August Renoir. He would also visit Paul Signac when he lived in Saint Tropez, and created sketches and paint portraits of his wife and his artist friends during this time.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img border="0" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/valtat/Valtat_PortraitOfTheArtistsWifeSuzanne.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Renoir Even</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">though Valtat was living far from Paris, he was not totally removed from the art community. He managed to exhibit his work in Brussels in 1900, in Vienna in 1903 and later in Moscow, Berlin, Dresde, Budapest and Praha. He was a fairly prolific and successful artist, finding a number of collectors and patrons during his lifetime. Most notably was a friend of Renoir’s, Amboise Vollard, who bought nearly his entire collection during the first decade of the 1900’s and later acted as his dealer. After that, he made an impression on Russian collector Ivan Morossov who purchased several of his paintings through Vollard.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sketch of Amboise Vollard</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">During the spring and summer months, Valtat typically liked to be near the seaside, particularly in Normandy. When he wasn’t roaming about, Valtat and his wife lived with his parents in Versailles. However, by 1924 he bought a home in Choisel where he was finally able to have a garden. Valtat was very proud of his garden and often showcased his various fruits,vegetables and flowers in his later compositions.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Les Choux Rouges 1927</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1927, Valtat was made a chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur. By 1940, his eyesight was failing terribly due to glaucoma, and he rarely left his workshop. Therefore, he created fewer pieces from 1940 on, and his last known work was dated 1948. He again exhibited his work with the Fauves a year before his death in 1951 at the Modern Art National Museum in Paris.</p>
