Overview

Excerpt from Rouault: Retrospective Exhibition, 1953 Last July I visited Rouault in Paris. We spoke of the old days, and of his present glory; I told him of my joy about the tribute Of universal admiration he is now receiving. He did not seem impressed by this glory - rather a little surprised: is it not a matter of anxiety, for an artist as profoundly conscientious as he is, and a man of solitude, to be recognized by the public at large? Well, the memory of the long years of ordeal and abandonment, during which everybody lamented the obstinacy with which he was spoiling his gifts and plunging into ugliness, may reassure him indeed. His present glory is the purest glory a great painter has ever known in his lifetime. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
