EDITORS COMMENTS
The Avenue" is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French Post-Impressionist artist, Edouard Vuillard, in 1899. This masterpiece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a vibrant and richly colored representation of Parisian city life during the late 19th century. The composition of the print depicts a bustling avenue filled with men and women strolling along the pavement, their figures rendered in bold strokes of orange and dark blue pastel against a grayish ivory background. The perspective is unique, with the viewer looking down the length of the avenue, creating a sense of depth and movement. Vuillard, a member of the artistic movement Les Nabis, was known for his use of color and innovative printing techniques, such as lithotint. In "The Avenue," he employs a lithograph process with touches of dark blue pastel, resulting in a stunning contrast between the warm orange hues of the people and the cool gray tones of the road and buildings. The scene portrays a diverse cross-section of Parisian society, with men in hats and coats walking alongside women in elegant dresses and parasols. The focus is on the everyday life of the city, with pedestrians strolling along the sidewalk, children playing, and a man leaning against a wall, seemingly deep in thought. This evocative print not only captures the essence of Parisian city life at the turn of the century but also showcases Vuillard's exceptional talent as a Post-Impressionist artist. The Art Institute of Chicago is privileged to have this important work in its permanent collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of "The Avenue.
