Description
This lot consists of a hand painted Oil on Cardboard rendered in style of the French painter, draughtsman and print artist Georges Rouault (1871-1958).
Georges Rouault was a French artist whose work melded Fauvism and Expressionism with its jewel-like tones and bold graphic lines. Alongside Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Rouault culled from his spiritual fervor and knowledge of medieval stained glass to produce resonating portraits, landscapes, religious scenes, and still lifes. In one of his hallmark works The Old King (1916-1936), the painter poetically explores the power of symbolism and primary colors. â€Å“For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh,” he once reflected.
DIMENSIONS:
Unframed 7.8"x11.8" (20x30cm)
Framed 8.6"x12.5" (22x32cm)
PROVENANCE:
French Private Collection
