Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gab Félix Vallotton seine Arbeit mit der Druckgrafik zugunsten der Malerei weitgehend auf, mit Ausnahme dieser letzten Serie L’Exposition Universelle. Nur viel später für die Dokumentation des ersten Weltkrieges wandte er sich nochmals kurz dieser Schaffensweise zu. Die Serie bestehend aus sechs Holzschnitten, die er anlässlich der Weltausstellung im Jahr 1900 in Paris anfertigte, hält einige der bemerkenswertesten Ereignisse der Ausstellung fest. Einer dieser sechs Drucke zeigt das bekannte Fenster ‘La Vitrine de Lalique‘ von René Lalique (1860-1945), worin der französische Dekorateur und Goldschmied seine neusten Kreationen, inspiriert vom französisch und japanischen Symbolismus, exponierte. Das Werk ist mit seinen sechs vorhandenen Blätter vollständig und somit sehr wertvoll erhalten. Eine Ausgabe dieser Serie befindet sich in der Sammlung des Metropolitan Museums in New York.
At the end of the 19th century, Félix Vallotton largely stopped working on the art of graphic printing, with the exception of this last series L'Exposition Universelle. He returned to this creative process only much later and then only very briefly for the purpose of documenting the First World War. This series, made up of six woodcuts that were created in Paris for the 1900 Paris Exposition, captures some of the exhibition’s most notable events. One of these six prints depicts René Lalique’s (1860-1945) well-known window ‘La Vitrine de Lalique‘ in which the French decorator and goldsmith displayed his latest creations, inspired by French and Japanese symbolism. With all of its six leaves intact, this work is complete, making it a very valuable piece. One edition of this series is to be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
