Félix Vallotton
For a period of ten years (from 1891 to 1901), Félix Vallotton focused almost exclusively on printmaking, which contributes greatly to his international renown. For the most part, his woodcuts illustrate Parisian life in the 1890s, which he describes with verve and humor. The artist sketches the daily dramas of existence, from the political and social to the personal.
Le Bon Marché (translated as "the good market" or "the good deal") is a department store in Paris, founded in 1838. It was one of the first modern department stores, and what's interesting, it still operates. This modern temple of consumption caught the eye of Vallotton, who loved such spots: full of people, possible dramas, perfect for a small dose of artistic irony.
