Jèsus sera en Agonie jusqu'à la fin du Monde; from Folio Miserere, 1922
Aquatint of Jesus' crucifixion by Georges Rouault (French, 1871-1958). Jesus is depicted with his head lowered and tilted. This piece is from the series "Miserere" which depicted dark, morbid, or otherwise miserable subjects. These pieces are in major collections, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, and the McNay Art Museum.

Georges Rouault was born on May 27, 1871 in Paris in a cellar to which his mother had been carried after the house had been struck by a stray shell during an insurrection. His father was a cabinet-maker in a piano factory. His paternal grandfather was a lover of art, an admirer of Manet and Daumier, who hoped the child would become a painter. When Rouault was a teenager he was apprenticed to a stained glass maker. This early contact with stained glass influenced immensely his later career as painter and printmaker. At the same time he attended evening classes at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs, and studied painting at the Louvre. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Elie Delaunay, who died soon after. He became the favorite pupil and a close friend of Gustave Moreau.
Moreau died in 1898 and the same year Rouault's parents left France to be with their daughter in Algeria whose husband had just died. Rouault was named Director of the new Musee Gustave Moreau. He turned to painting landscapes; he had a period of bad health which he spent in Evian. Rouault always saw himself as an artisan, an anonymous laborer making devotional images. He used black outline to reinforce the brilliancy of color and expressive gesture in the manner of mosaics or medieval miniatures. He drew freely from various sources in order to give conventual overtones to his modern statement of human dilemma. His preoccupation over the years with the plight of prostitutes, tragicomic clowns and biblical martyrs, who as outcasts from society, suffer the burden of insoluble ethical demands, reflects the existential dread of despair he, as an artist, suffered himself.
In 1908, Rouault married Martha Le Sidoner. They had four children. Rouault exhibited with the Fauves, though he was never closely associated with that movement. His work from then until the end of his life was concerned with printmaking, designing costumes and scenery, illustrating books, etc.

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.

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...
