About the Item
Born in Paris, France in 1871, Georges Rouault’s early apprenticeship under a stained glass maker had a strong influence on his mature painting style. Rouault attended Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and the École des Beaux-Arts under Gustave Moreau, where Matisse was one of his fellow students.
In 1902 Rouault helped found the Salon d’Automne, an independent exhibition space for those artists rejected by the Paris Salon and the site of one of his first major exhibitions. A year later he became the Director of the new Musee Gustave Moreau. By the 1930s and 40s, Rouault was exhibiting widely. In 1937 he had his first American one-man show at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in NYC and in 1938 the Museum of Modern Art exhibited his graphic prints. His works were also shown at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the Tate Gallery in London and at the Venice Biennale in Italy Rouault’s paintings are in collections around the world, including the Musée National d’Art Moderne and Centre Georges Pompidou in France, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, several museums in Japan, and the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.
The heavy black contouring used in “Paysans” is characteristic of Rouault’s spontaneous and instinctive painting style, reinforcing the expressive gesture.

Georges Rouault
Executed in 1937, Carlotta belongs to a group of portraits of members of society. Unlike Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, who portrayed these individuals with pathos, Rouault’s approach was unapologetic and raw. In the present work several layers of pigment can be discerned; the build-up of translucent and opaque layers of paint creates a three-dimensionality that characterizes the artist’s strongest work. Furthermore, the work is highlighted by the deep swaths of black delineating the subject, representing a signature element of Rouault’s portraiture of this period.
