Christ de Face 1936 - 1938

"Christ de Face" is a powerful and evocative lithograph created by the French artist Georges Rouault between 1936 and 1938. Rouault, known for his expressive and often somber depictions of religious themes, presents a close-up portrait of Christ's face, characterized by bold black outlines and a limited palette of intense colors. This expressive style, which combined elements of Expressionism and Fauvism, became Rouault’s signature, contributing to his artistic influence and recognition. This piece embodies the artist's deep engagement with religious subjects and his exploration of human suffering and spirituality, offering a profound meditation on faith and sacrifice.
