Félix Edouard Vallotton and the Bold Lines of Modern Art

Félix Edouard Vallotton was a Swiss-French painter and printmaker known for his striking use of color and strong, clear lines. Born in 1865, Vallotton was a key figure in the Nabi movement, blending symbolism with modern aesthetics.

His work often features bold compositions, sharp contrasts, and a subtle sense of irony, exploring themes of everyday life, portraiture, and landscapes. Vallotton’s woodcut prints are especially celebrated for their graphic power and influence on modern printmaking.

With a style that balances simplicity and complexity, Vallotton’s art paved the way for later modernist movements, leaving a lasting mark on early 20th-century art.
