Édouard Vuillard made a career in art at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Édouard Vuillard as French painter (1868-1940).
Édouard Vuillard was born in 1868. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Lycée Condorcet and Académie Julian.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
The record gives his occupations as painter, draftsperson and photographer.
Among his principal works are Antoinette David-Weill and her nephew Maurice Lambiotte in Mareil-le-Guyon and After the snack. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
His recorded fields of work are painting.
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Édouard Vuillard died in 1940 at the age of 72. The work outlived the arguments around it.
