Did you know?
Félix Vallotton was a leading figure in the Nabis group, known for his revolutionary approach to woodcuts that revitalized the medium at the end of the 19th century. By using stark, flat blocks of black and white, he stripped away realistic detail to focus on the psychological impact of the scene, famously capturing the 'Exposition Universelle' in Paris with a distinct, modern graphic sensibility.
