Did you know?
This print is part of Félix Vallotton's celebrated series 'C'est la guerre' (This is War), produced in 1915 to capture the grim reality of the First World War. Vallotton, a Swiss-born French painter and printmaker, used his signature stark, black-and-white style to convey the existential dread and bleak atmosphere of trench warfare, moving away from heroic propaganda to show the weary anonymity of the soldiers.
