Although the one is describing the Artois region and the other is painting the Argonne, the words of Victor Hugo fit Vallotton's landscapes where there is no sign of the thousands of men hidden in the trenches.
We may well look far into the distance, as far as the horizon, scour the slopes of mutilated trees and the plain in the distance, there is nothing living to be seen, there are only a few wisps of white smoke and the barely perceptible furrows of the communication trenches dug in the ground.
The work is disappointing, being short on picturesqueness, pathos, and intensity - Vallotton was certainly aware of this and yet he refused to cheat.

 Félix Vallotton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They established Vallotton as a leader in the revival of true woodcut as an artistic medium; in the western world, the relief print, in the form of commercial wood engraving, had long been mainly utilized unimaginatively as a medium for the reproduction of drawn or painted images and, latterly, photographs.
Vallotton's starkly reductive woodcut style features large masses of undifferentiated fl and areas of unmodulated white.
Vallotton's paintings of the post-Nabi period found admirers, and were generally respected for their truthfulness and their technical qualities, but the severity of his style was frequently criticized.

 1914-18 war - Art of the First World War - 46 - Félix Vallotton
Félix Vallotton, Verdun, tableau de guerre interprété, projections colorées noires, bleues et rouges, terrains dévastés, nuées de gaz (Verdun Interpreted War Painting, Coloured Black, Red and Blue Projections, Destroyed Lands, Clouds of Gas), 1917, oil on canvas, 114 x 146 cm, Musée de l'Armée, Paris.
Vallotton came home from his assignments in Argonne and Verdun in the certainty that, whilst it remained possible for the artist to paint the ruins and landscapes of the front, the battle itself posed problems to which he perhaps had no answer.
He keeps elements of a landscape, perspective, trees on slopes, but the centre of the painting is filled with a symbolic composition - the geometry of the antagonistic "forces".
