"C'Est La Guerre" is a series of woodcuts by the Swiss/French artist Félix Édouard Vallotton, created during the early 20th century, specifically in 1915-1916, amidst the turmoil of World War I. Vallotton, known for his post-impressionist paintings, was also a prolific printmaker, and this series stands as a poignant critique of the war and its devastating effects on society and individuals. The title, translating to "This is War" in English, encapsulates the artist's intention to convey the brutal realities and the senselessness of war.

The series comprises ten woodcuts, each depicting different aspects of the war, from the direct violence of the battlefield to the more insidious impacts on civilian life. Vallotton's style in these works is characterized by stark contrasts, with deep blacks and stark whites, a technique that enhances the dramatic and often harrowing content of the images. This stylistic choice not only underscores the horror and tragedy of war but also reflects Vallotton's skill in using woodcut, a medium that traditionally relies on the interplay of light and shadow, to convey complex narratives and emotions.

Vallotton's "C'Est La Guerre" series is notable for its departure from glorified depictions of war, instead presenting a raw and unvarnished look at the human cost of conflict. Through these works, Vallotton critiques the nationalism and militarism that led to World War I, making a broader statement on the futility and destructiveness of war. The series is considered an important contribution to war art and has been the subject of various exhibitions and scholarly analyses, appreciated for both its artistic merit and its historical significance in offering insight into the cultural and social attitudes towards World War I.

As part of Vallotton's broader oeuvre, "C'Est La Guerre" reflects the artist's engagement with social and political themes throughout his career, utilizing his art as a means to comment on the issues of his time. The series remains a powerful reminder of the capacity of art to bear witness to the tragedies of war and to challenge the narratives that often surround it.
