Description

Georges Rouault

Georges Rouault (born 1871 in Paris - died 1958) began his apprenticeship under a stained glass craftsman at the age of 14, encouraged by his father, a furniture craftsman. He attended the School of Decorative Arts and studied under Gustave Moreau at the National School of Fine Arts, alongside Henri Matisse and Albert Marquet. In 1894, he was awarded the Chenavard Prize for "The Infant Jesus Among the Doctors," earning high acclaim. In 1903, he became the first director of the Gustave Moreau Museum, as per Moreau's will. His early style focused on themes of social injustice and human suffering, such as "Prostitutes," "Clowns," and "Judges," known for expressions in pastel and watercolor with a predominance of black. Later, he transitioned to a religious style filled with tranquility and light, with notable works in his later years including "Holy Face" (1939), "Autumn Nightscape" (1952), and "Madeleine" (1956).
