Faubourg des Longues Peines (Demenagement) 1929

"Faubourg des Longues Peines (Demenagement)" is a 1929 lithograph by French artist Georges Rouault. The artwork depicts a dark, urban scene with two towering buildings flanking a street, likely in Paris. Two figures, a man and a woman, are partially obscured by a dark vehicle in the foreground. The use of bold black lines and heavy shading creates a somber and melancholic tone, characteristic of Rouault’s style. The title, which translates to "Suburb of Long Pains (Moving)," suggests a theme of displacement and hardship, further emphasizing the dark and somber tone.
