About the Item

This work published circa 1925 entitled "Idéal" or "L'Orateur" is signed and hand numbered in pencil from an edition of 50. This work is number 1 from the group. Catalogue Raisonné: Chapon-Rouault 335; Wofsy 33 Georges Rouault is a French painter, printmaker and draughtsmen who is most associated with Fauvism and Expressionism. He was born in May of 1871. As a young man studied to be a stained glass artist. By 1891 he had entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and began to study under Gustave Moreau. When Moreau died Rouault was nominated to be the curator of the Moreau museum. He met Heri Matisse and the other Fauvists about this time and became associated with their work. He exhibited regularly from 1905 on with the Salon d'Automne. His use of stark contrast and emotionally charged work is credited by the influence of his friendship with Vincent van Gogh. By 1907 Rouault entered into his expressionist phase and by 1910 his work was represented by Duret Gallery. In 1929 he created the set design for Diagilev's The Prodigal Son. By 1930 he began to exhibit internationally in cities like London and New York. Rouault died in 1958.

  • Gene Davis Pencil Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Exhibition Poster
    By Gene Davis
    Located in Hudson, NY
    This poster for an exhibition undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution and was produced as a Resident Associates Program Exhibit for the organizations 10th anniversary. The work is pencil signed and numbered 80 of 200. Davis was born in Washington DC in 1920 and died in the city he gave so much to in 1985. A major 20th-century figure in American painting Davis's contributions to Washington were invaluable in helping to establish DC as a center for contemporary art. Davis is also recognized as a prime mover in the national and international Color Abstract Movement and his ascendance to prominence started in the 1960s. He was never formally trained and learned his craft by constant gallery and museum visits and later said that this lack of boundaries from education freed him from any limitation on his work or process. Davis worked within the loosely formed Washington color school of painters which included other artists like Kenneth Nolan...

    By Andre Darin
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Andre Derain was born in Chatou France in 1880. He met Matisse early in his life but was conscripted into the French army in 1901. After his service and when released Matisse convinced his parents to allow him to stop training as an engineering student to develop his artistic talents. He devoted himself full time to painting and attended the Academie Julian. He developed his early important style with close friends Maurice de Vlaminck and Henri Matisse. This became known as Fauvism and helped to usher in the other modern movements in art throughout the 20th century.
