In 1898, Félix Vallotton published his famous series Intimités, ten engravings collected in a portfolio by La Revue blanche. Only 30 copies of this series were printed, something Vallotton later regretted, having destroyed the wooden matrices to guarantee this limited edition. This book presents these ten now legendary images, accompanied by the series Les Instruments de musique and many other engravings as famous as La Paresse, Le Bain or La Nuit and L’Émotion. A magnificent book in which the eye of Jean-Philippe Toussaint accompanies us in Vallotton’s intimate work and in which the erudition of Katia Poletti allows us to reach the deep mysteries of these images which are among the most important in modern engraving. Jean-Philippe Toussaint is the winner of the Prix Médicis 2005 for Fuir, and the Prix Décembre 2009 for La Vérité sur Marie published by Éditions de Minuit. Art historian Katia Poletti is a curator at the Félix Vallotton Foundation, Lausanne.
