Did you know?
Félix Vallotton was a central figure in the revival of the woodcut medium at the end of the 19th century. His dramatic use of solid black blocks and white spaces, often called 'black-and-white' style, heavily influenced the Nabis group and future graphic design. This stark visual language allowed him to transform traditional landscape subjects into modern, striking compositions.
