Book Description
Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) was a French artist active at the turn of the century, who was celebrated for the exquisitely balanced beauty of his work. Although he is best known for his striking and elegantly composed Japanese-inspired woodblock prints, Vallotton was also a skilled painter, creating works that arrestingly combined technical perfection with emotional realism. This seminal text provides readers with a fascinating assessment of the career of this revolutionary artist.
