Good Deal / Cheap
1893
Step into the chaotic world of 19th-century consumerism! Félix Vallotton, a key member of the Nabis group, captures the absolute frenzy of shoppers diving into fabric bins at Le Bon Marché, one of Paris's first modern department stores. The stark black-and-white contrast makes the crowd look almost like a swarm of ants fighting over sugar, with women aggressively rummaging through bolts of cloth. Created in 1893, this woodcut highlights the birth of modern retail therapy, showing us that the madness of the sales season is over a century old!
