Feacute;lix Vallotton (1865-1925) war ein franzouml;sischer Kuuml;nstler der Jahrhundertwende; dessen Werke buuml;rgerliche Konventionen hinterfragten und den Geschlechterkampf thematisierten. In kuuml;hl konstruierten Kulissen findet sich eine auml;sthetische Provokation; die sich die Moderne zum Vorbild nehmen sollte. Die Aufmerksamkeit seiner Zeitgenossen hatte Vallotton jedoch seinen von der japanischen Kunst inspirierten; bemerkenswert elegant komponierten Holzschnitten zu verdanken.

I am especially intrigued by the descriptions of Franz Liszt. My mother studied with a later student of Liszt; Alexander Siloti; so I feel a connection with this remarkable artist. I like to feel that something remained from Liszts teaching in her playing. Siloti was also one of Rachmaninoffs teachers.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book.
