Did you know?
Félix Vallotton was a key member of the Nabis, a group of post-impressionist avant-garde artists in Paris who emphasized decorative qualities and expressive flat planes of color. This series of Parisian views is highly regarded for its stark, almost cinematic use of black and white, which greatly influenced later 20th-century graphic illustration and printmaking styles.
