Georges Rouault
Dors Mon Amour

1935

About the Item

This is an aquatint print by French painter Georges Rouault titled "Dors mon amour" ("Sleep, My Love") (plate facing page 164) from Cirque de l'étoile filante (The Shooting Star Circus) 1935, published 1938 by Ambroise Vollard. Signed in plate on lower left. This piece comes beautifully framed with information about the piece on the back of the frame. French painter, draughtsman, printmaker and designer, Georges Rouault created a personal style of Expressionism that gives him a highly distinctive place in Modern Art. Rouault's achieved financial success after Ambroise Vollard became his art dealer-publisher in 1917 and he gained an international reputation through the 1930s. In 1937 he had his first American one-man show at Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York City and in 1938 the Museum of Modern Art held an exhibition of his graphic prints. Rouault adeptly worked in the various printmaking techniques of woodcuts, lithographs and etchings, often for book illustrations commissioned by Vollard. Rouault was the quintessential master artist working in the aquatint printing process.
