George Rouault

The beginning

• George Rouault was isolated at a young age among artists. George made paintings that proved it to be possible for him to be an independent and committed modernist. He was born in Paris, May 27th 1871 in a cellar house in Belleville. The city where he was born was going to get bombarded by government troops from Versailles in future years, who were trying to defeat the Paris community. His father finished off and varnished pianos in a Pleyel factory.

• At a young age he was sent to a Protestant school which was not a success for George. In 1885 Ronault taken away to be a maker of stained glass named Tamoni. Later on he was employed by George Hirsch, who restored old medieval windows.

• In 1891-1898 George Rouault studied under Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. At first George Rouault studied under Elie Delauney until Elie’s death. After that George was now under Gustave who he had a close connection.

• After Gustave Moreau died George Rouault was appointed curator of the Musée Moreau in 1903, while at the museum he still managed to remember his teachers teachings. He also used the memory of his teacher’s work to do medeival paintings.

• Still at to his 30ies he still would make water color paintings and would express his paintings through color which founded his reputation as a fauvist painter. Some of his first paintings were of workers and farmers.

• He was encouraged by his art dealer Ambroise Vollard he started doing graphic art between 1917 to 1927. one of his most famous famous series was the extensive cycle “misserere” that finished in 1927.

The End

• Around the 1920s he found out about impasto painting this was a technique were paint is applied in thick, pastose layers. He died at the age of 87 in paris in the year 1958.

An Article on Henri Matisse’s work

• Le Rifain assis (Seated Riffian) is one of Henri Matisse’s painting done in late 1912 or early 1913. In henri’s paintings he uses a LOT of color. He also does a lot of shading. Henri Matisse doesn’t put much detail into his paintings but they are still nice.

What were the artists similarities in their work
