In 1888, Valtat (1869-1952) studied at the Académie Julian with Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) and Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940), and both of these prominent Nabis artists had an influence on Valtat's work. In 1895 he worked with Toulouse-Lautrec and Albert André on the stage designs for La Chariot de Terre Cuite . Valtat ultimately settled in the south of France and became a prominent founding member, along with Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck and others, of the Fauvist movement.
