The Winner
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut print by the Swiss artist Félix Vallotton, created in 1898. This antique artwork is a testament to the artistic movements of the late 19th century, specifically the Nabis and Post-Impressionism. The image, with its stark contrast against the cream Japanese paper, depicts a horse race scene filled with excitement and tension. The crowd of onlookers, dressed in their finest attire, are transfixed by the race, their faces etched with anticipation and delight. The winning jockey, triumphantly raising his arms in victory, breaks through the sea of spectators, his horse's hooves pounding the ground. The artist masterfully captures the raw energy and emotion of the scene, using bold lines and intricate details to bring each figure to life. The print is a satirical commentary on the culture of horse racing and the human obsession with competition. Vallotton's use of cartoonish figures and exaggerated expressions adds a layer of parody to the image, making it a witty and insightful observation of the human condition. This woodcut print is a must-see for any art enthusiast or history buff, as it provides a glimpse into the artistic heritage of France and Switzerland during the late 19th century. Its concept as a graphic work of art, with its intricate details and masterful use of contrast, makes it a standout piece in any collection or exhibition. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this valuable work in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
