"A striking example is the portrait of Aïcha Goblet, a circus artist and cabaret dancer of Martinican descent who posed for many artists at the École de Paris after the First World War. The dress, which has slipped off the shoulders, clearly eroticizes the sitter; However, her dreamily averted gaze and the dignified pose reminiscent of a courtly portrait let such a promise come to nothing. Instead, the focus is on the sensuality of the textures and a color composition through which Vallotton consistently intertwines the figure and the surrounding space. It is no coincidence that stretcher frames leaning against the back wall identify the room as a studio: the canvas is primarily a painterly field of experimentation - and the subject of the portrait in the modern age is no longer the human being, but art.\n\n"
