Circus c. 1932

"Circus" is a lithograph created by Andrée Ruellan circa 1932, depicting a scene from a circus performance. The composition is characterized by its expressive line work and strong contrasts in light and shadow, typical of the artist's style. The artist's signature in the bottom right corner authenticates the work. The scene portrays a group of performers, including a figure playing a trumpet and another sitting on a large, curved shape, perhaps a stage prop. Ruellan’s work often focused on themes of the human condition and social observation, and “Circus” offers a glimpse into a world of spectacle and performance.
