About the Publication: Georges Rouault, Stella Vespertina (Evening Star), published by Rene Drouin, Editeur, Paris, in 1947, stands among the artists most profound and introspective achievements in the realm of illustrated albums. Conceived in the later decades of Rouaults life, the publication reflects his spiritual humanism, his lifelong dialogue with suffering and redemption, and his visionary use of the printed medium as an extension of both devotional art and modern experimentation. Printed with extraordinary technical precision by Drager Freres, Maitres-Imprimeurs, the album was issued in multiple paper states, ranging from deluxe Japon Imperial to Velin dArches and Velin pur fil du Marais. Stella Vespertina exemplifies Rouaults belief that the graphic arts could convey the luminous intensity of stained glass and the moral weight of his painted oeuvre, making the folio a landmark in both French printmaking and twentieth-century spiritual modernism. 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).
