Rue des Solitaires 1922

"Rue des Solitaires" (1922) by Georges Rouault (1871-1958) showcases the artist's signature dark and expressive style. The lithograph depicts a shadowy street scene, likely in Paris, where buildings are rendered with thick black lines and stark contrasts. The somber palette, dominated by shades of brown and black, evokes a sense of melancholy and isolation, reflecting themes often explored in Rouault's work. This piece exemplifies the artist's powerful use of line and color to depict the urban landscape and human condition, a hallmark of his work that continues to captivate viewers.
