Novelist Tessa Hadley on the intriguing world of Félix Vallotton | Blog | Royal Academy of Arts

Vallotton makes the scene somehow alien, not familiar: he un-domesticates it. The woman has her back turned and appears unaware of our looking at her, or indifferent to it. The painting is wary in relation to the sheer complexity of this bourgeois domestic order, the work it takes, that female mental work which might seem to an intelligent man, and especially to an artist, so numbingly materialistic, futile in its repetitions. He admires the Bernheim men, his in-laws, transacting business in their office or at play; they exude sophistication and assurance.

How delicately Northern European the self-scrutiny in this portrait feels, and not only because of the austere painterly realism, no hint of an impressionistic brushstroke.

Such a man, holding himself back from belonging, might make good art out of the opulent interiors of strangers, alien to his own taste. His pictures of Gabrielle at home are crowded with the clashing colours and patterns of clothes and wallpaper, upholstery and rugs: red walls, gilt clock, striped gold-and-pink wallpaper, fringed dresses, ornaments, flowers, tiled fireplace, parquet floor.

Bequest of Carle Dreyfus, In Interior with Woman in Red from , rooms open theatrically into other rooms and yet further rooms; Gabrielle presides in the middle distance with her back to us. In The Red Room, Etretat , Gabrielle sits calmly in a chair, while her baby niece on the floor absorbedly and deliberately tears up a piece of paper. Is Vallotton perturbed by how his wife is smiling and fatalistic, overseeing the destruction of something so closely resembling his own work? His subjects are often these accidental comedies of domesticity.

POETRY AND RESOURCES IN EMAIL FORM

When Vallotton turns to painting, he conceives his subjects as ambitiously as anyone. Some of his most exciting paintings have the same gestural minimalism as his illustrations: The Theatre Box , for example, where a couple are all but concealed from us by the low wall of their box, everything centring on the white knot of her gloved hand.

Or in The Ball , a playing child seen from above, a schematic outline against a simplified landscape, creates a thrilling vertiginous space of freedom. In other paintings the strong design pushes too explicitly towards a point, or a joke. He ranges restlessly from these paintings-as-design, through the more impressionistic naturalism of the interiors with Gabrielle, to the meticulous near-archaic realism of the self-portraits and the still lifes, the fleshy literalism of his nudes.

In , not long before his marriage, Vallotton embarked on two series of scenes from the secret sexual lives of the bourgeoisie: first a sequence of 11 woodcuts, the Intimacies , then a series of paintings of similar subjects. These woodcuts were popular: their sheer ingeniousness, compressing dense narration into a small space, somehow miniaturising and making safe what is violent or sad in the subjects, and their strong whiff of misogyny. The woodcuts make the sex war amusing, seductive, wicked; the paintings are more troubling, and not everybody liked them.

Perhaps the answer lies with the perceptions of the reader. This short novella tells Elizabeth's story. She is an artist who paints disturbing images that she sees in her dreams.

An artist who dares to reach outside the normal limitations of her art in order to create the quintessential painting. This novella was extremely well written, with vivid and disturbing imagery.
