Jacques VAILLANT (1879-1934) -- France

Description: Jacques Gaston Emile VAILLANT (1879-1934). - FRANCE. The Bateau-Lavoir is a building located in the Montmartre area in the 18 th arrondissement of Paris. tres It is mainly known for being a meeting place and residence, at the beginning of the 20th century, for many artists (painters), but also people of letters. A fire severely damaged it in May 1970 (all that remained was the facade), it was then entirely rebuilt to accommodate foreign artists. Initially called the "House trapping", it was renamed by the poet Max Jacob the Bateau-Lavoir, referring to the wash vessels operating in the Seine, upon the arrival of Pablo Picasso and his colleagues in 1904. Located at No. 13 Ravignan place, it was until 1860 a guinguette under the banner of "Poirier-without-Pareil." The first artist to settle there in 1892 is the painter Maxime Maufra, returning from a stay in Brittany. The place quickly became a meeting place, where one remember in particular the presence of Paul Gauguin. Between 1900 and 1904, the place was occupied by two groups of artists, Italians, the most famous was Ardengo Soffici and Spaniards clustered around Paco Durrio. Picasso arrives in 1904 ( remains until 1909 and keeps a studio until 1912), his blue period was over, he began the tables of the pink period here. Kees Van Dongen , Juan Gris , Constantin Brancusi , Modigliani , Pierre Mac Orlan , Max Jacob . At that time the inhabitants are Kees Van Dongen, Juan Gris, Constantin Brancusi, Modigliani, Pierre Mac Orlan, Max Jacob. Les Demoiselles d'Av In 1907, the painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is unveiled here. In 1908 the Douanier Rousseau are welcomed by a memorable banquet. The Bateau-Lavoir loses its charme from the First World War to the district of Montparnasse and La Ruche, the equivalent of the left bank. The house was also nicknamed the "Villa Medici of modern painting." historiques mai Registration for historical monuments on May 31, 1965.

The little piece I read in French alluded to the fact that he served as a hero in the war, lived in Paris and then moved to New York where he committed suicide. He painted little given sickness and lived a high life with friends (social animal). He was in the entourage of Picasso but nothing more about his work or exhibits or anything else. I'll keep you posted if I dig more info in french. I'll check Italian too as Frenchmen often liked Italy as a fun place to go. Love to read about people.............as you can imagine. Voila.......... He did live in Bateau - Lavoir (laundry boat) where Modigliani and Picasso (with his dog Frika) and a few others lived and had a studio. Artists of good success lived there. One night Modigliani, in a rage and under the influence of alcohol, destroyed all the canvases of his friends. Picasso invented Cubism at Bateau - Lavoir. The story goes that Vaillant after the war was 'sick and unsuccessful' which led him to commit suicide in jan '34.This Painting is done in Mixed Media mostly watercolors some Pastel and pencil/pen..........."
