In 1930 Pablo Picasso was commissioned to produce a series of etchings by the art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard in exchange for paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Cézanne. The works were not based on a particular literary source or even individually titled, but reflected Picasso’s erotic and artistic obsessions in an era of political turmoil as fascism spread through Europe. Picasso worked extensively on the set in during the spring of 1933, and completed the suite in 1937.

£225The works of George Roualt. ‘The Flight into Egypt, 1948’,
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
