1893
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La Manifestation (The Demonstration) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a chaotic street scene with lots of people running. Some wear suits, others hats or dresses. A man in the front is bending over, holding a cane. Above him, a figure is falling from a window. The background has doors, windows, and a crowd packed tightly together. The artist used bold black lines to make it look like a fast-moving scene. The title *La Manifestation* hints it might be about a protest or rally. Next, check out the technique: woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
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.
