Exemplifying Rouault's signature style of heavy black contouring, this rare, ink signed progressive proof leads us to question the nature of this robust subject. We are denied a glimpse at this vagabond's face, shrouding him in mystery and leading us to ponder where he came from and where he is going. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
| Designed in Rouault's unique signature style of bold black contour lines, this
work depicts a robust man with his back turned to the viewer. The man appears
pensive and slightly lost. Following the title of this work, the viewer cannot
be sure where this vagabond came from or where he is going; he simply stands
in an open field, considering his next move. Rouault denies the viewer a glimpse
of the subject's face, adding an air of mystery to the piece while still allowing
for a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is witnessing a private moment of
quietude and reflection.
Created in 1935, this original color etching and aquatint was printed on watermarked "verge de Montval" cream colored laid paper. One of seventeen aquatints for André Suarès book of poems Passion. This work was printed by Roger Lacouriere, Paris and published by Ambroise Vollard. Signed in the plate with the artist's monogram, 'GR 1935' in black in the lower left side of the image and hand-signed by Georges Rouault (1871-1958) in bluish black ink in the lower right margin. This work is a rare, ink-signed progressive proof in black and grey; it is our belief that this proof accompanied the edition of 40 black ink impressions (from the total edition of 270).

Georges Rouault biografía
French expressionist and religious painter. Georges Rouault was the son of a cabinetmaker. Trained as a maker of stained-glass windows (1885-90) before studying at the School of Fine Arts in Paris where he was encouraged to develop his talent (1891-98). After his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1895 he concentrated on Biblical themes in his paintings, etchings and lithographs. In 1905 he exhibited with the Fauves (Matisse, etc) but wasn't influenced by them. Instead he came under the broader expressionist school which dealt with intensely felt human emotions (Chaim Soutine, Edvard Munch, etc). Georges Rouault also painted scenes from the street, prostitutes, judges and tragic clowns as well as some still lifes. His style was basically melancholy, portraying the tragedy of the human condition, but with hope in Jesus.
