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.
