1893
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, depicting Corpse, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see two men in a cramped room, backs pressed against opposite walls, knees almost touching. Vallotton carved this scene straight into wood, leaving sharp black lines and flat shapes. The tight space feels even tighter because he left out shadows—no soft edges, just hard angles. It’s like a silent standoff, but the men aren’t even looking at each other. Look up more woodcuts to see how artists use ink and grain to tell stories.
Félix Édouard Vallotton (French: ; December 28, 1865 – December 29, 1925) was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker associated with the group of artists known as Les Nabis.
