Georges Rouault
Le Jongleur (The Minstrel)

1930

About the Item

Le Jongleur (The Minstrel). 1930. Etching and aquatint printed in colours. Chapon/Rouault 199 d. 12 1/4 x 8 1/2 (sheet 17 1/4 x 13 1/8). Series: Cirque plate 2. Edition 270. Initialed and dated in the plate, as issued. Housed in an archival 20 x 16-inch mat, suitable for framing. The clown was a pivotal figure in Rouault's oeuvre. The most important image is Rouault's self-portrait as a clown in Qui ne se grime pas? from the Miserere series, below. Cirque was originally conceived to accompany texts by André Suarès. The publication was cancelled in 1932 after Vollard read the manuscript and decided that Suarès' caricatures would affront his "Clientèle Americaine."

Housed in 25 x 20-inch archival mat, suitable for framing. Paul Albert Besnard, was an impressionist painter. In 1866, the seventeen-year-old son of artist parents began his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts Paris. In 1874, Besnard won the important Prix de Rome, with which the academy distinguished young talent. A portion of the scholarship is a stay of several years in Rome. Besnard married Charlotte Dubray, a sculptress, during this time in Rome. The couple lived in England, where Besnard exhibited at the Royal Academy London, between 1881 and 1884. He became involved with English portrait painting during this period, which had a lasting influence on his work. In the years that followed, Besnard broke with the academic tradition. In 1886, he presented the portrait of Madame Roger Jourdain...
