Georges Rouault (French, 1871-1958): Wood-Engravings
|
|
|
|
|
Rouault did not make any woodcuts or wood-engravings, but he designed a great many of them to be cut by Georges Aubert (who also cut many wood-engravings for Picasso). Rouault, eggedd on by Ambroise Vollard, imagined a number of grand artist's books, greand both in conception and in size. In this enterprise, Aubert was a willing collaborator whose skills as a wood-engraver were unmatched by anyone in the 1920s-1930s.
