L'averse is a woodcut made by Félix Vallotton in 1894. The title points to a sudden shower of rain, and the work is part of his printmaking, a field in which he played an important role in the development of the modern woodcut. Vallotton was a Swiss and French artist linked to the Nabis, and he is known for an unemotional, realistic approach across his subjects. Here, that restraint suits a print built on the plain contrast of a woodcut.
On your wall: Its simple, graphic character suits minimalist interiors, such as a hallway, study or quiet living room where a single considered piece can stand alone.
