Corn Fields, 1900. Félix Vallotton (French, 1865-1925). Oil on canvas; unframed: 27 x 46 cm (10 5/8 x 18 1/8 in.). With the change of the century, Vallotton shifted his focus from printmaking to oil painting. Before 1900, the artist concentrated on precisely reproducing the world around him, but as seen in this painting, Vallottons work shows hints of ambiguity. The greenery blends together, and the distant horizon is described in simple curves of hills or clouds that fade into the sky.
