Louis Valtat (French pronunciation: [lwi valta]; 8 August 1869 – 2 January 1952) was a French painter and printmaker associated with the Fauves ("the wild beasts", so named for their wild use of color), who first exhibited together in 1905 at the Salon d'Automne.[1] He is noted as a key figure in the stylistic transition in painting from Monet to Matisse.[2][3]
