The Impressionist & Modern Art department at Aguttes, in collaboration with the Paris office of the house, was proud to present for sale, on June 18, three major works by Georges Rouault, an emblematic artist of the 20th century. These three oils, reflecting the richness and depth of his inspiration, naturally won over collectors.

Georges Rouault (1871–1958), a former pupil of Gustave Moreau, established himself as a central figure in modern art, combining masterful technique with a religious and social sensibility. His works, marked by vibrant colors outlined in bold black contours, explore themes as universal as faith and the poetry of everyday life.
