EDITORS COMMENTS
Extreme Measure, plate six from Intimacies, 1898 (woodcut) captures a moment of intense emotion and tension within a marital relationship. In this monochrome print by Felix Edouard Vallotton, we see a distressed woman seated at a dinner table, her sinuous contours reflecting the distress she feels. The stylized and defined lines add to the reductive nature of the image, focusing solely on the emotional turmoil between husband and wife. The scene depicts an argument or dispute that has escalated to an extreme measure. The flatness of the composition emphasizes the emotional distance between them as they engage in this heated exchange. The woman's tear-streaked face conveys her deep distress while her husband remains stoic and unyielding. Vallotton's woodcut technique adds texture and depth to this intimate portrayal of strained relationships. Through his artistic choices, he invites us into their private space where romantic notions are shattered by harsh reality. This print serves as a reminder that even in moments of distress and conflict, there is still beauty to be found in human connections. It prompts us to reflect on our own relationships and consider how we navigate through difficult times with empathy and understanding.
