Chemineau 1935

"Chemineau" is a 1935 lithograph by French artist Georges Rouault, known for his dark and expressive style. This work depicts a solitary figure carrying a heavy burden, perhaps referencing the struggles of the working class. Rouault's use of bold black outlines and simplified forms creates a sense of weight and monumentality, characteristic of his artistic vision. The composition is striking, with the figure's posture emphasizing the physical effort of carrying the burden. This piece exemplifies Rouault's powerful and poignant style, which often explored themes of suffering, labor, and the human condition.
