About this work

Overview

Au-delà des forces humaines is a lithograph created by Édouard Vuillard in 1897. The work is executed in black ink on wove paper.

Technique & Style

The print showcases Vuillard's use of simple lines and shapes, characteristic of his decorative approach. The strong contrast between black and white is achieved through lithography, a technique that allows for bold, flat planes of color.

Context

Produced during Vuillard's association with the avant-garde group Les Nabis, the work reflects the influence of Japanese prints and an interest in interior scenes, common themes among the group.

Subject & Meaning

The lithograph depicts a dark scene with simple shapes, diverging from the detailed, realistic paintings prevalent during the late 1800s.
