About the Publication: Douze Contemporains (Twelve Contemporaries), published in 1959 by Editions d'art du lion in collaboration with Boston Book and Art Shop, Inc., stands as a masterwork of mid-century French printmaking, uniting the visions of leading modern artists through a harmonious portfolio of lithographs and pochoirs. The album exemplifies Jacomets meticulous approach to color separation and hand-stenciled execution, preserving the tonal richness and structural clarity of each composition. Issued in a significant edition of numbered and non-commerce impressions, the publication reflects the vibrancy of postwar artistic culture and the ateliers central role in advancing modern printmaking. About the Artist: Georges Rouault (1871–1958) was a French painter, printmaker, and stained-glass artist whose profound emotional intensity, luminous color palette, and moral vision made him one of the most original and spiritual figures in 20th-century modern art. Rooted in both the Symbolist and Fauvist movements, Rouaults work transcended stylistic boundaries to express a deep empathy for humanity, exploring themes of suffering, compassion, faith, and redemption. Trained under Symbolist master Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Rouault absorbed Moreaus emphasis on imagination and spiritual meaning while forging a bold visual language that combined the radiance of stained glass with the expressive realism of Rembrandt and the structural innovation of Paul Cezanne. His heavy black contours and jewel-like colors imbued his images with sacred resonance, whether depicting clowns, judges, or Christ figures—subjects through which he revealed the tension between sin and grace within the human condition. A leading participant in the Fauvist circle alongside Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, and Albert Marquet, Rouaults art bridged modernist color with profound spiritual clarity. His contemporaries included Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists similarly committed to redefining the expressive and symbolic boundaries of modern art. Rouaults works are housed in major museums including the Musee dOrsay, the Centre Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The highest price ever paid for a Georges Rouault artwork is approximately 2.5 million USD, achieved in 2011 at Christies London for Le Dernier Roman du clown (circa 1917–1920).
