A Swiss-French painter and printmaker, Félix Vallotton was associated with the Nabis group and known for his sharp, psychologically charged imagery. His woodcuts revolutionized modern printmaking with their bold contrasts and simplified forms, while his paintings often explored quiet tension beneath scenes of domestic life. Combining clarity of line with emotional restraint, Vallotton created works that are both elegant and unsettling, securing his place as one of the most distinctive voices in early modern European art.
