{"product_id":"corn-fields-felix-vallotton","title":"Corn Fields - Félix Vallotton","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1906 oil painting by Félix Vallotton, featuring a simplified, graphic depiction of the French countryside with bold colour planes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFélix Vallotton, a member of the Nabis group, produced this work in 1906. The painting demonstrates his departure from the traditional naturalism of his contemporaries, opting instead for a simplified, almost graphic approach to the rural environment. The composition is divided into distinct horizontal bands: a vast, uniform foreground of green, a middle ground punctuated by clusters of trees and golden strips of harvested corn, and a distant, textured sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVallotton employs a flattened perspective that removes the need for conventional atmospheric depth. The colours are applied in broad, unmodulated planes, which creates a sense of stillness and artificiality. This technique reflects the Nabis interest in decorative surfaces and the rejection of realistic representation in favour of subjective interpretation. The trees are rendered as solid, dark silhouettes against the lighter fields, providing a rhythmic contrast to the horizontal lines of the terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the subject is a rural scene, the execution is highly controlled. Vallotton avoids the loose brushwork typical of Impressionism, preferring clean edges and a deliberate arrangement of shapes. This work captures the quietude of the French countryside through a lens of modern abstraction. The palette is dominated by intense greens and ochres, which are balanced by the muted, cool tones of the sky. By reducing the visual information to its essential forms, Vallotton invites the viewer to engage with the structure of the image rather than its literal subject matter. This piece is representative of his mature style, where he synthesised his earlier experience as a printmaker with his later explorations in oil painting, resulting in a unique visual language that prioritises clarity and formal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Félix Vallotton","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58345069281615,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58345077604687,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58345077637455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58345077670223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58345077702991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58345077735759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58345077768527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58345077801295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58345077834063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58345077866831,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58345077899599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58345077932367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Corn-Fields_Poster_CompositorV1_1785388984619.jpg?v=1785391260","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/corn-fields-felix-vallotton","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
