Also an art publisher, Vollard commissioned numerous works from the painter, including illustrations for his own writings. Rouault produced twenty-one illustrations for R\u00e9incarnations du p\u00e8re Ubu<\/em>, a book about Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi<\/em>. <\/p>\n The engravings don’t correspond exactly to Vollard’s narrative line; the text is the starting point for an original adventure imagined by the artist. He elevatesUbu <\/em>Roi’s characters to archetypes: the crooked politician, the opportunistic voter, the ridiculous colonist… Thanks to their representation in the simplicity of a pause and the density of an atmosphere, they become timeless. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[267,285],"product_tag":[159,174,311,268],"class_list":{"0":"post-18051","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-estampes","7":"product_cat-rouault","8":"product_tag-aquatint","9":"product_tag-etching","10":"product_tag-gravure-printing","11":"product_tag-print","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
