£225The works of George Roualt. ‘The Funeral’, 1930,
Although Georges Rouault a contemporary of Cubism, Expressionism and Fauvism, he never formally associated himself with any of these movements. As an independent he found his inspiration in the realities of everyday life and in religious subjects which he imbued with an authentic spirituality. Early in his career Parisian art dealer, Ambroise Vollard, bought the full contents of Georges Rouault’s studio. The artist agreed on the condition that he could finish his work at his own pace. Most of his works represented circus figures, religious subjects or landscapes.£225 -
