EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bather with Swans, X from Les Petites Baigneuses" transports us to the enchanting world of Swiss artist Felix Edouard Vallotton. Created in 1893 as a woodcut, this monochrome masterpiece measures 11x16.8 cm and is part of a private collection. In this intriguing composition, we witness a moment of both beauty and tension. A fearless female bather finds herself surrounded by a flock of swans, their graceful forms contrasting against her vulnerable nudity. The stylized depiction adds an air of mystery to the scene, drawing us deeper into its narrative. However, these seemingly serene birds reveal their aggressive nature as they attack the bather with fierce determination. Her expression reflects fear and vulnerability as she tries to protect herself from their onslaught. This juxtaposition between elegance and aggression creates a powerful visual impact that leaves viewers captivated. "Les Petites Baigneuses" was created during Vallotton's involvement with the Nabis movement—a group known for their innovative use of color and form in art. Through his masterful technique in printmaking, Vallotton skillfully captures the essence of this dramatic encounter between human and animal. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image captured by Bridgeman Images' eChristies Photos, we are reminded once again why fine art has the power to evoke such profound emotions within us all—fear mingled with awe at nature's raw beauty intertwined with humanity's
