About the Item
A painting by Georges Rouault. “Carlotta” is an oil on canvas portrait painting in a palette of blues, yellows, blacks, and pinks by expressionist artist Georges Rouault. The artwork is signed in its lower right, "Rouault." Framed dimensions are 25 3/8 x 21 7/8 x 3 in.
Expressionist painter Georges Rouault, who was greatly influenced (but not formally trained) by German Expressionists, is known for his thick black brushstrokes that outline each works subject. Having apprenticed as a glass painter in his teenage years, Rouault’s works greatly resemble post-impressionist decorative glasswork. This can be seen in the thoughtful simplicity of his compositions and the contrasting weight of strong, thick blacks against bright pops of color. Enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1891, Rouault studied under Symbolist Gustave Moreau. Later associating himself with the Fauvist movement, Henry Matisse, Andre Derain, and Rouault collaborated to create the Salon d’Automne, a progressive show of works previously rejected by the conservative Paris Salon. He used his rough, emotive style to reflect motifs surrounding contemporary life, morality, and religion.

Georges Rouault
Executed in 1937, Carlotta belongs to a group of portraits of members of society. Unlike Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, who portrayed these individuals with pathos, Rouault’s approach was unapologetic and raw. In the present work several layers of pigment can be discerned; the build-up of translucent and opaque layers of paint creates a three-dimensionality that characterizes the artist’s strongest work. Furthermore, the work is highlighted by the deep swaths of black delineating the subject, representing a signature element of Rouault’s portraiture of this period.

It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.
