About the Item

Lithograph on vélin d’Arches paper. Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: From the folio, Les Peintres mes amis, 1965. Published by Éditions d'art Les Heures Claires, Paris; printed by Raymond Jacquet, Paris, 1965 in an edition of 250. GEORGES ROUAULT (1871-1958) French painter, printmaker, ceramicist, and maker of stained glass who, drawing inspiration from French medieval masters, united religious and secular traditions divorced since the Renaissance. Rouault was born in a cellar in Paris during a bombardment of the city by the forces opposed to the Commune. His father was a cabinetmaker. A grandfather took an interest in art and owned a collection of Honoré Daumier’s lithographs; Rouault said later that he “went first to school with Daumier.” In 1885 he enrolled in an evening course at the Paris École des Arts Décoratifs. From 1885 to 1890 he was apprenticed in a glazier’s workshop; his mature style as a painter was undoubtedly influenced by his work on the restoration of medieval stained-glass windows, including those of Chartres cathedral. In 1891 he entered the École des Beaux-Arts, where he soon became one of the favourite pupils of the Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, in a class that also included the young Henri Matisse and Albert Marquet. After the death of Moreau in 1898, a small Paris museum was created for his pictures, and Rouault became the curator. Among the major artists of the 20th-century school of Paris, Rouault was an isolated figure in at least two respects: he practiced Expressionism, a style that has never found much favour in France, and he was chiefly a religious painter—one of the most convincing in recent centuries. Both statements, however, need qualification. Rouault was not as fiercely Expressionistic as some of his Scandinavian and German contemporaries; in some ways his work is a late flowering of 19th-century Realism and Romanticism. And he was not an official church artist; his concern with sin and redemption was deeply personal.

Il a été maltraité et opprimé et il n'a pas ouvert la bouche - from "Miserere"
By Georges Rouault
Located in Roma, IT
Wonderful original etching with aquatint realized by Georges Rouault between 1916 and 1923, published as a suite in 1948. Sheet in perfect conditions. The artwork is part of the important suite Miserere realized by Rouault between 1917 and 1923, considered as the most important religious graphic of XX century. Il a été maltraité et opprimé et il n'a pas ouvert la bouche represents an episode of Christ's passion. Miserere suite is divided in two themes: religious and profane; one is linked to Christ's passion and the other is dedicated to the human event, to the pilgrimage of pain on earth, made even more tragic by war. In the 58 original plates, Rouault lingers on the conditions of humanity. Like few other contemporaries, Rouault represents man, placing him at the center of an absurd and squalid theater. Interesting the use of contrasts and the shapes of the figures with black outlines. In this artwork the figure of Christ is placed in the center facing down. Georges Rouault (Paris, 1871) has been an interesting exponent of French Expressionism...
