Georges Rouault (1871-1958)

Independent artist of the contemporary avant-garde movements, if not a filiation with fauvism, Georges Rouault is the author of a profoundly humanistic work, placing in its center the man in the grip of fate. He tirelessly painted clowns, judges, defendants, girls or painful Christs, taking care to translate the sadness of the soul by means of his luminous colors contained in broad black lines.
