The Gale, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut by Felix Edouard Vallotton that transports us to a bustling street scene during a tempestuous hurricane. This small yet powerful print measures 18x22.4 cm and belongs to a private collection. In the midst of this chaotic weather, we see a young girl bravely navigating the gusty winds alongside her mother. The wind tugs at their clothes and blows dust through the air, creating an atmosphere of unease and uncertainty. Despite these challenging conditions, both mother and daughter press on with determination. Vallotton's masterful use of line work brings life to this snapshot in time. The artist was associated with Les Nabis, a group of post-impressionist painters who sought to capture fleeting moments like this one with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. In "The Gale" however, Vallotton opts for stark black lines against white paper, emphasizing the dramatic contrast between light and dark. One cannot help but be drawn into this scene as we witness the resilience of these figures amidst nature's fury. The presence of a dog adds an element of loyalty and companionship in the face of adversity. "The Gale" serves as a reminder that even in times when everything seems out of control, there is strength within us to withstand life's storms.
