Untitled is a 1897 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white scene of a room at night. A person sits in a chair, playing a guitar. Behind them, a window frames a dark night with a few bare branches. On a table, a hat lies folded neatly. The stark contrast and simple shapes make the scene feel quiet and focused. The artist used a technique that cuts shapes into wood, then inks them. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
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.
