A rare ink signed progressive proof, this striking work highlights Roualt's tendency to overemphasize the often unusual personalities of his subjects. This fisherman is an intriguing subject as we take in his slightly forlorn face, his cutoff jeans, the sway of his body, and his disproportionately long arms.

An old man strides forward carrying a large stick, able bodied despite his age. This rare, ink signed progressive proof perfectly captures Roualt's ability to depict the essence of his subjects, here providing a contradictory work in which we witness the old man's weathered, weary face yet see him walking proudly and confidently with the strength of a much younger man.

Georges Rouault Biography
French expressionist and religious painter. Georges Rouault was the son of a cabinetmaker. Trained as a maker of stained-glass windows (1885-90) before studying at the School of Fine Arts in Paris where he was encouraged to develop his talent (1891-98). After his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1895 he concentrated on Biblical themes in his paintings, etchings and lithographs. In 1905 he exhibited with the Fauves (Matisse, etc) but wasn't influenced by them. Instead he came under the broader expressionist school which dealt with intensely felt human emotions (Chaim Soutine, Edvard Munch, etc). Georges Rouault also painted scenes from the street, prostitutes, judges and tragic clowns as well as some still lifes. His style was basically melancholy, portraying the tragedy of the human condition, but with hope in Jesus.
