1901
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Ten past one... is a 1901 by Félix Vallotton, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman in a dark dress stands over a man sprawled on the floor, blood pooling under his head. The clock on the wall reads ten past one. This is a woodcut print from a series about crime, published in a French magazine. Vallotton strips the scene down to sharp black and white shapes—no shading, no extra details. The flat patterns make the violence feel almost quiet, like a newspaper headline. To see more of this stark style, look up Félix Vallotton (Swiss French, 1865–1925).
This print was published in the magazine L’Assiette au Beurre (March 1, 1902 ) as plate 15 from the series Crimes and Punishments .
