From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Frontispiece from "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 exaggerated cartoon figures standing on a sidewalk. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes—men in suits and hats, women in long dresses. One child stands in the middle, looking up. The background is plain, but the top has bold black text reading "PARIS INTENSE" with the artist’s name, F. Vallotton. The drawing looks like it’s from a book cover or poster, with thick black lines and flat colors. The figures have big heads and simple shapes, making them look silly or dramatic. The yellow paper gives it a warm, slightly faded feel. Try looking up lithography to see how artists like Vallotton made prints like this.
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.
