Painter, playwright, critic and man of society—Felix Vallotton applied his talents broadly. For a single decade at the end of the 19th-century, however, he enjoyed fame above all else as a print maker. Vallotton’s boldly reductive approach to the woodcut is credited by many art historians of his time (and ours) as having modernized and revitalized the form in Western art.
