Georges ROUAULT (1871-1958) Landscape Watercolor, signed and dated 1901 lower right. Height 10.6 cm; Width: 21.8 cm It was just after the death of his master and his appointment as curator of the Gustave Moreau museum that Georges Rouault produced this work. Provenance : - Former Jean Paulhan collection. Exhibition: - Jean Paulhan à travers ses peintres, Grand-Palais, February 2 to April 13, 1974, no. 679. Jean Paulhan was director of La NRF from 1925 to 1940, and from 1953 until his death in 1968. A discoverer of many writers, his interest in painting developed especially during the Occupation. In 1942, he discovered Georges Braque, then Jean Dubuffet and Jean Fautrier, whose catalog he prefaced in 1943 for the exhibition organized by René Drouin's gallery in Paris. Jean Paulhan was an art collector, art critic and friend of many artists. His personal collection included many paintings by his friends, as well as portraits of himself and his wife by his contemporaries. The twelve paintings we are presenting have been preserved to this day by the descendants of his wife, Germaine Pascal. In 1974, the RMN organized a major exhibition devoted to this relationship with artists, "Jean Paulhan à travers ses peintres" ("Jean Paulhan through his painters").
