Félix Vallotton's woodcut *The Squall* (*Le Coup de Vent*) depicts a group of figures battling a sudden gust of wind in a scene of urban chaos, rendered in stark black and white.
Félix Vallotton's 1894 woodcut, *The Squall* (*Le Coup de Vent*), captures a moment of urban chaos with striking graphic simplicity. Vallotton, a Swiss artist associated with the Post-Impressionist movement, was a member of the avant-garde group Les Nabis. He is known for his woodcuts, paintings, and literary criticism. His woodcuts often present stark contrasts and flattened perspectives, influenced by Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, which were fashionable in Europe at the time. In *The Squall*, Vallotton depicts a group of figures struggling against a sudden gust of wind. The scene is rendered in bold black and white, with areas of solid black contrasting with areas of white space and linear patterns. The figures are caught in mid-motion, their bodies bent and clothing billowing in the wind. A dog is blown through the air. The artist uses simplified forms and strong outlines to convey a sense of drama and movement. The composition is carefully arranged to create a dynamic and unsettling effect, reflecting the unpredictable nature of urban life.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
