1892
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1892 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows three sleeping figures curled up together in a dark, enclosed space. Their bodies are simple shapes—no faces, no details—just smooth curves against the black background. Above them, a thin strip of light suggests a window or sky, with faint lines that look like reeds or grass. The artist carved this image into wood, leaving only the raised lines to print. That’s why the dark areas are empty and the light parts are the shapes themselves. Next, check out woodcut to see how this printing method works.
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.
