Georges Rouault
Automne (Autumn)

c. 1938.

About the Item

Automne (Autumn). 1938. Aquatint print in colors. Chapon/Rouault 288C. 19 1/2 x 25 1/2 ( sheet 22 5/8 x 30 3/4). Edition 175, #58. Published by Vollard. A rich impression with bright, fresh colors printed on watermarked Montval paper, on the full sheet with deckle edges. Signed in ink, numbered in pencil. Housed in an elegant silk mat and a striking 32 x 37-inch gold leaf frame. Rouault returned to the theme of Autumn, and used it in a large lithograph and then this large aquatint. It is the most impressive of his secular fine prints Rouault came to be known as the link between the French Fauves and the German Expressionists of the 20th century. Although Chinois is often considered Fauvist in terms of style, it adopts a darker palette reflective of an Expressionist approach to color. He was born in Paris into a poor family. His mother encouraged his love for the arts, and in 1885 the fourteen-year-old Rouault embarked on an apprenticeship as a glass painter and restorer, which lasted until 1890. This early experience as a glass painter has been suggested as a likely source of the heavy black contouring and glowing colors likened to leaded glass, which characterizes Rouault's mature painting style. During his apprenticeship, he also attended evening classes at the School of Fine Arts, and in 1891, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts, the official art school of France. There he studied under Gustave Moreau and became his favorite student. Rouault's earliest works show a symbolism in the use of color that probably reflects Moreau's influence, and when Moreau died in 1898, Rouault was nominated as the curator of the Moreau Museum in Paris.

Signed in pencil. Charing Cross is located at the junction of the Strand, Whitehall, and Cockspur Street in Central London, England. The name originates from the Eleanor cross installed by King Edward I as a memorial to his wife, Eleanor of Castile at the former hamlet of Charing. Since 1675, the cross site has been occupied by a statue of King Charles I mounted on a horse. The pedestal is thought to be designed by Wren and carved by Grinling Gibbons.
