La Paresse (Laziness). Artist: Félix Vallotton (Swiss/French, 1865-1925). Medium: Black woodcut (xylography) on cream textured paper. Collection: Van Gogh Museum*.

Panorama de l'art's analysis** describes the scene I'm sharing as follows: "...The woman and the cat reclining on the sofa intersect the diagonal line formed by the furniture with their bodies reaching out to each other; the feeling emanating from the whole is one of heavy languor and serene pleasure..."

There's a Japonist influence in this print. Vallotton visited the famous ukiyo-e exhibition held at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1890. The Van Gogh Museum*, where this artwork is housed, explicitly points out this influence: the print's decorative approach to the surface, along with the integrated composition created by the patterned fabrics and figures, comes directly from the Japanese printmaking tradition.

However, there's an important thing that sets Vallotton apart from both the Japanese masters and his French contemporaries: he completely rejected color. While both the Japanese ukiyo-e masters and other members of the Nabis group (Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis) were producing color prints during this time, Vallotton insisted solely on black and white.
