EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking woodcut print, titled "Halt! Halt! Herr Professor. This is not the Haig Convention," is a poignant and powerful image from the French series "Visions de Guerre" by Swiss artist Felix Valloton. Created in the aftermath of World War I, Valloton, who served in the conflict as a source of inspiration for his abstract art, initiated the modern movement in the use of woodcut. In this print, we witness a mortal combat between a French and German soldier, a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war. The title of the print refers to the Haig Convention, a controversial agreement between British and German forces during World War I, which allowed for the exchange of wounded soldiers between the two sides. Valloton's cartoon, however, depicts a violent confrontation that is far removed from the spirit of the Haig Convention. The use of bold lines and stark contrasts in the print underscores the intensity and brutality of the combat. Valloton's "Visions de Guerre" series is a testament to the artist's deep engagement with the horrors of war and his commitment to using art as a means of expressing the human experience of conflict.
