Album Cover for "Paris Intense" is a 1894 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a group of six stick-figure people standing close together. The background is plain green, and the figures are outlined in black with flat colors. One person wears a top hat and coat, another has a polka-dot dress, and a child stands between two adults. The text at the top reads "PARIS INTENSE par F. Vallotton," and the bottom lists an address. The exaggerated, simple shapes and bold lines make the scene feel lively but cartoonish. This style was a way to show everyday life in a quick, eye-catching way. Check out lithography 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.
