Original Description
Félix Vallotton's "Petits Anges" (1894) is a striking example of the Swiss artist's distinctive Nabi-era style, blending decorative elegance with psychological tension. Measuring 48.5 x 60.5 cm, this woodcut print showcases his signature flattened forms and bold black-and-white contrasts that became hallmarks of early Modernist printmaking. The composition features two androgynous child figures – possibly allegorical angels – rendered with Vallotton’s characteristic sharp contours and rhythmic patterning that recall medieval woodcuts while anticipating Art Deco stylization. Created during his association with Parisian avant-garde group Les Nabis, the work exemplifies their philosophy of "art as decoration" while subverting sentimental tropes through its enigmatic atmosphere. Art historically, it represents a pivotal moment when Symbolist imagery merged with emerging modernist simplification, influencing later graphic artists from Franz Masereel to contemporary graphic novels.
For contemporary interiors, this print’s graphic quality makes it ideal for creating focal points in studies or creative workspaces. Its monochromatic scheme pairs beautifully with mid-century modern furniture or minimalist Scandinavian decor, while the religious symbolism could resonate in sacral-inspired eclectic spaces. Consider framing it in a slender black gallery frame with 2-3" white matting to emphasize its graphic impact, ideally hung at eye level (57-60" from floor) in spaces with clean lines. In a home office, position it above a streamlined writing desk alongside brass accent pieces to complement its warm black ink tones; for galleries walls, combine with other Symbolist works or Japanese ukiyo-e prints that share its flat spatial treatment. The modest size allows grouping in diptych arrangements or as part of a thematic salon hang. Avoid cluttering nearby surfaces to let its hypnotic linear patterns breathe.
