![]() ![]() Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne inspired the Nabis, meaning prophet in Hebrew. Along with Vallotton, the core group of the Nabis included Paul Sérusier who trained under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre, Henri-Gabriel Ibels, Paul Ranson, Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, Édouard Vuillard, and Ker-Xavier Roussel. Founded in the 1860s by Rodolphe Julian, the Académie Julian was the most famous private art school in Paris, thanks to the Nabis. After receiving a degree in classical studies in a college in his hometown in 1982, he left for the Académie Julian to study art. His major works include portraits and landscapes, but he showed an exceptional talent in woodcuts, as well. Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1865, Vallotton remained a crucial member of the Nabis until his death in Paris, France, in 1925. Felix Vallotton has led “Les Nabis,” a group of Paris-based artists who actively transitioned away from French impressionism of the 19th century. ![]()
