Vallotton, Félix, 1865-1925, Swiss woodcut artist and painter. Associated with the
Nabis, he worked in Paris. Vallotton rejuvenated the woodcut medium as a creative technique. His boldly cut designs, conceived as arrangements in black and white, depict Parisian society with wit and intelligence. A painting,
Swiss Landscape, is in the Lyman Allyn Museum, New London, Conn.
