EDITORS COMMENTS
Félix Vallotton's 'Money,' plate five from the series 'Intimacies,' created in 1898, is a captivating black and white drawing that invites viewers to delve into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. This antique artwork is a testament to the artistic movement known as Les Nabis, which emerged from Post-Impressionism and was characterized by its use of symbolism and flattened forms. The scene depicts an intimate moment between a man and a woman, with the couple seated at a table indoors. The woman, with her back turned to the viewer, tenderly touches the man's hand, while he reaches out to place a coin into a bowl between them. The tension in the room is palpable, as the couple's gazes lock, and their expressions suggest a deeper emotional connection. The use of stark contrasts and bold lines creates a sense of drama and intensity, while the lack of color adds to the drawing's timeless quality. Vallotton's masterful use of shading and texture adds depth and dimension to the figures, making them feel real and relatable. This artwork was originally published in the French literary magazine La Revue Blanche, and is now a cherished part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and explore the nuances of human emotion and experience.
