Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album XXe siecle, numero special hors abonnement, Hommage a Georges Rouault, published by Societe Internationale d'Art XXe siecle, Paris, under the direction of Gualtieri di San Lazzaro, editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1971 About the Publication: Gualtieri di San Lazzaro's XXe Siecle (Twentieth Century) was one of the most influential art journals of the modern era, founded in Paris in 1938 as a platform for the greatest painters, sculptors, and writers of the 20th century. San Lazzaro, a visionary editor, critic, and champion of modernism, believed that art and literature should coexist as expressions of a shared human imagination. Under his direction, XXe Siecle became a cultural bridge between Europe and the wider world, publishing special issues devoted to leading figures such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Calder, Miro, Kandinsky, and Leger. Each edition combined essays by renowned critics and poets with original lithographs printed by the foremost ateliers of Paris, London, and New York, including Mourlot, Curwen, and Universal Graphics, creating a uniquely rich dialogue between text and image. Through XXe Siecle, San Lazzaro preserved the creative spirit of the avant-garde during and after World War II, championing freedom of expression and the evolution of abstraction, surrealism, and modern thought. Over nearly four decades, the journal shaped international taste and defined the intellectual landscape of postwar art publishing. Today, XXe Siecle remains celebrated for its extraordinary synthesis of art, literature, and design, an enduring testament to Gualtieri di San Lazzaro's belief that the visual arts are the soul of the modern age. 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, Rouault’s work transcended stylistic boundaries to express a deep empathy for humanity, exploring themes of suffering, compassion, faith, and redemption. Trained under the great Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Rouault absorbed Moreau’s emphasis on spirituality, imagination, and symbolism while forging his own bold visual language that combined the radiance of stained glass with the emotional realism of Rembrandt and the structural innovation of Paul Cezanne. His use of heavy black contours and radiant, jewel-toned color imbued his paintings with a sacred, timeless quality, whether depicting clowns, judges, or Christ figures—subjects through which he revealed the duality of sin and grace within the human condition. A leading participant in the Fauvist circle alongside Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, and Albert Marquet, Rouault’s art bridged expressive modern color with profound spiritual reflection. His contemporaries and peers included some of the most transformative artists of his era—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—each of whom, in different ways, shared his commitment to reimagining form, feeling, and faith in modern art. Rouault’s work continues to be celebrated for its sincerity, moral depth, and technical mastery, earning a central place in major museum collections such as the Musee d’Orsay, 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 Christie’s London for Le Dernier Roman du clown (circa 1917–1920).
