EDITORS COMMENTS
Five O'Clock, plate seven from Intimacies" is a captivating black and white drawing by the renowned Swiss artist Félix Vallotton, created in 1898. This artwork is a testament to the artistic movement known as Les Nabis, which emerged in France during the late 19th century as a post-impressionist group that sought to challenge traditional artistic conventions. The drawing depicts an intimate scene of a couple in a room, engrossed in each other's company. The man, dressed in a suit and tie, leans forward, his gaze fixed on the woman, who sits on a chair, her face turned away from him. The tension in the room is palpable, as the man reaches out to touch her hand. The woman's body language suggests a reluctance or unease, adding to the sense of tension and anticipation. Vallotton's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of volume and solidity to the figures. The drawing is also notable for its satirical and parodic elements, as Vallotton often used his art to comment on contemporary society and culture. This artwork was originally published in the literary magazine La Revue Blanche, and is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The drawing is a poignant depiction of the complexities of human relationships, and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless exploration of love, romance, and intimacy.
