2025 marks the hundredth anniversary of Félix Vallotton's death. In anticipation of the major retrospective to be held at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts (MCBA) this autumn, the Musée Jenisch Vevey is inviting living artists and students from the Bachelor of Visual Arts program at the Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL, classes taught by Denis Savary and Stéphane Kropf) to pay tribute to this essential Swiss artist. Works by Caroline Bachmann, Mathieu Dufois, Valérie Favre, Nicolas Party, Françoise Pétrovitch, François Réau and Denis Savary, some created especially for the exhibition, enter into dialogue with a selection of works by Félix Vallotton from the Musée Jenisch Vevey collections, enriched by loans from the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Genève and a rich private collection. Each in its own way, they reveal the role played by this emblematic figure.

Curated by Nathalie Chaix, director and Margaux Honegger, assistant curator at the Cabinet cantonal des estampes.

The exhibition is part of the Vallotton Year 2025. Cultural institutions are celebrating the work of Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) one hundred years after his death. Throughout Switzerland, exhibitions, publications and events offer visitors the chance to meet this exceptional painter, engraver, illustrator and writer.
