About the Item

Héliogravure on vélin pur fil du Marais paper, archivally mounted on a larger vélin pur fil du Marais support sheet, as issued Paper Size: 12 x 9 inches, image; 19.25 x 15.25 inches, overall. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Notes: From the folio, Georges Rouault, Stella Vespertina, 1947. Published by René Drouin, Éditeur, Paris; printed by Drager Frères, Maîtres-Imprimeurs, Paris, 1947. Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), It was taken from this album: V examples on Japon Impérial, including II of the brasses used in the print run, marked from A to E; XXV examples on Vélin pur fil d'Arches, including a cure used for the print run, numbered from I to XXV; MM examples on Vélin pur fil du Marais, numbered from I to MM. GEORGES ROUAULT (1871-1958) was a French painter, draughtsman, and printmaker. Rouault holds a special place in the history of modern art. He was contemporary of the Cubists, Fauvists and Expressionists without ever joining their ranks. Though he joins the ranks of the major artists linked to the heroic avant-garde years in Paris, Rouault cut something of a solitary figure amongst his peers. He nevertheless formed early career associations and friendships with Henri Matisse, Albert Marquet, Henri Manquin and Charles Camoin and this brought him into the fold of the Fauvists with whom he exhibited at their famous 1905 exhibition at the Salon d'Automne. However, his work carried strong elements of Expressionism, which had never found much favor outside of Scandinavia and Germany. By the beginning of the First World War Rouault was turning more and more away from watercolor and oil on paper towards oil and canvas and he applied his paint through thick, rich, layers which helped amplify his raw and bold forms. His colors, awash with deep blues, contained within heavy black lines, produced art that was reminiscent of stained glass windows and supported subject matter that became more overtly religious with a strong recurring theme of the power of redemption. The majority of his career was devoted to the human figure - specifically clowns, prostitutes and Christ - but during the last decade of his life his palette allowed for pastel shades of green and yellow to impinge on canvases that placed his figures in charming mystical landscapes. In 2009. Georges Rouault's painting, Pierrot, sold for $1,370,500 at Sotheby's New York, setting a world record for the artist.
