Original Description
Félix Vallotton’s Femme Nue Assise (1916) is a striking woodcut that distills modern sensibilities with razor-sharp precision. Part of Vallotton’s celebrated nude series, this black-and-white print epitomizes his signature style—bold contrasts, flattened forms, and an almost surgical lack of sentimentality. The seated figure, rendered with geometric austerity yet undeniable sensuality, reflects Vallotton’s Swiss roots in the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement while anticipating Art Deco’s sleek minimalism. Unlike the voluptuous nudes of contemporaries like Renoir, Vallotton’s work strips the subject to its essential lines, creating tension between intimacy and detachment. As a key figure in Les Nabis and a bridge between symbolism and modernism, Vallotton’s prints like this one revolutionized graphic art by treating the human form as both subject and abstract pattern. Femme Nue Assise today resides in major museum collections, celebrated for its daring simplicity that influenced later Surrealist and Pop artists.
For a chic contemporary space, this print commands attention best against a muted monochrome backdrop—think dove-gray walls or a matte black accent panel. Its strong linear quality pairs brilliantly with Mid-Century Modern furniture or minimalist Bauhaus-inspired decor. Frame it in slim, unadorned black wood to echo Vallotton’s graphic rigor, and hang it at eye level in a study or dressing area where its intimacy can spark dialogue. At its original small scale (typical of Vallotton’s woodcuts), group it with two other Vallotton nudes in a salon-style arrangement, or let it stand alone above a neutral-toned console with a single sculptural vase. For offices, it lends sophistication to creative workspaces when juxtaposed with warm walnut shelving and brass accents—the print’s starkness softens amid organic textures. Avoid ornate frames or busy surroundings; this is a piece that thrives on negative space and quiet confidence.
