The boards were shot with the Daniel Jacomet Process, typography of lImprimerie Union in Paris. The portfolio is housed in Cartonnages Adine papier, and shot on velin Chiffon de Mandeure in an edition of CDL examples, numbered from I to CDL, and non-commerce examples, numbered in roman numerals from I to L. About the Publication: Georges Rouault, Visages (Faces), published jointly in 1969 by Editions Letoile Pilante and Atelier Daniel Jacomet et Cie, stands as one of the most refined late twentieth-century homages to Rouaults lifelong engagement with the human face as a vessel of spiritual and emotional truth. Printed using the celebrated Daniel Jacomet Process—a technique renowned for its fidelity to original color, texture, and painterly nuance—the album presents a series of portraits translated with exceptional sensitivity into lithograph and pochoir. Issued on velin Chiffon de Mandeure in both numbered and non-commerce states, the publication exemplifies the high point of French artisanal printmaking, merging technical precision with profound expressive resonance. By reinterpreting Rouaults deeply spiritual imagery through Jacomets masterful pochoir and lithographic craftsmanship, Visages stands as a distinguished contribution to the tradition of modern illustrated albums. About the Artist: Georges Rouault (1871–1958) was a French painter, printmaker, and stained-glass artist whose profound emotional intensity, luminous color palette, and moral vision made him one of the most original and spiritual figures in 20th-century modern art. Rooted in both the Symbolist and Fauvist movements, Rouaults work transcended stylistic boundaries to express a deep empathy for humanity, exploring themes of suffering, compassion, faith, and redemption. Trained under the great Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Rouault absorbed Moreaus emphasis on spirituality, imagination, and symbolism while forging his own bold visual language that combined the radiance of stained glass with the emotional realism of Rembrandt and the structural innovation of Paul Cezanne. His use of heavy black contours and radiant, jewel-toned color imbued his paintings with a sacred, timeless quality, whether depicting clowns, judges, or Christ figures—subjects through which he revealed the duality of sin and grace within the human condition. A leading participant in the Fauvist circle alongside Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, and Albert Marquet, Rouaults art bridged expressive modern color with profound spiritual reflection. His contemporaries and peers included Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists who, in different ways, shared his commitment to reimagining form, feeling, and faith in modern art. Rouaults work continues to be celebrated for its sincerity, moral depth, and technical mastery, earning a central place in major museum collections such as the Musee dOrsay, the Centre Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The highest price ever paid for a Georges Rouault artwork is approximately 2.5 million USD, achieved in 2011 at Christies London for Le Dernier Roman du clown (circa 1917–1920).
