Georges Rouault, limited edition aquatint, etching from edition of 205, Cirque de L'Etoile Filante (Shooting Star Circus). Dated 1935 and monogrammed in plate. Rustic wood frame measures 17" x 22", aquatint measures 10"x 14". Excellent condition. As found on Rouault: Georges Rouault occupies a unique place amongst twentieth century artists. Although a contemporary of Cubism, Expressionism and Fauvism, he never formally associated himself with any of these movements. Often considered a religious painter, he was, above all else, independent. He did not find his inspiration in the abstract, but rather in the realities of everyday life and in an authentic spirituality. 10689-10
