EXHIBITION VISIT: A Double Tour of Félix Vallotton’s Illusions Perdues

EXHIBITION VISIT: A Double Tour of Félix Vallotton’s Illusions Perdues

2 Museums in 1: the Art of Modernism at Villa Flora & Reinhart in Winterthur

Embark on an exclusive journey that offers an in-depth exploration of the dual-site exhibition Illusions Perdues, featuring more than 150 works by Félix Vallotton (1865–1925), one of the most distinctive voices in French modernism. This special exhibition celebrates two significant anniversaries in 2025: the centenary of Vallotton’s deathand the 160th anniversary of his birth.

Vallotton was a revolutionary artist whose mastery of woodblock printing and oil painting forever reshaped the art world. Renowned for his ability to capture the complexities of human nature, his bold use of color, and his unique blend of realism with emotional depth, Vallotton's work continues to exert a profound influence on contemporary art.

This exclusive guided tour begins at Villa Flora, where visitors will discover Vallotton’s woodblock prints and floral still lifes—works that reveal his poetic sensibility and graphic mastery. From here, the tour continues to Reinhart am Stadtgarten, home to the main body of the exhibition, which features Vallotton’s portraits, intimate domestic scenes, and haunting war imagery. This section of the tour highlights the evolution of his artistic vision, showcasing powerful paintings from across his career.

Throughout the visit, art historians will lead participants through Vallotton’s world of illusion, irony, and modern disillusionment, offering rich insights into the artist’s groundbreaking contributions to the visual arts.
