"The following notes on the work of Georges Rouault were suggested to us by the retrospective exhibition of his work at the Musee National d'art Moderne in Paris (July 9-October 26, 1952). As for the images that accompany this text, they were mostly chosen from among the most recent, those that best demonstrate Rouault's exceptional creative vigor. It is a truly surprising thing to see an artist at eighty-one years old regain his youth but rich in all the precious knowledge of experience. In these recent works, Rouault has returned to his old themes, but this time to express things as they are in their entirety. It is no longer a question of bruised hopes but of an almost mystical serenity." - translated from introduction in Rouault article.
