“Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.” – Georges Sand
For Art Sunday today, Georges Rouault (French, 1871-1958). Although he was isolated amongst the artists of his time, George Rouault produced work which proved it was possible to be an independent yet wholly committed Modernist. His work is painterly and influenced by the impressionists and expressionists, but there is a primitive strength in his work that often reminds one of the monumental stained glass windows of the middle ages.
“The Old King” – 1937, one of his best known works.
