1 comments about Rouault in Perspective.
- As a historian of modern French culture, I always thought of Rouault as a rather odd and obscure figure, a religious man out of touch with the great modernist wave of art in his time. So when I read this book from the recommendation of a friend, I learned how wrong I was, how very relevant the works of Rouault are to the art and millieu of the period. Indeed he was one of the last great painters in whose works religious images and symbolism were predominant, but they were also very much modernist in character and many of them dealt directly with the social and political issues of the day. Soo Yun Kang, in her excellent series of essays, shows how Rouault as a person as well as a painter cannot be understood apart from the exciting period he lived in. She discusses, for instance, his relationship with the writer Huysmans, another religious and much neglected figure of the time, his involvement in various religious groups that were created in response to religious persecution of the era, and his use of traditional religious figures in modern context to make sometimes bitter commentary on the social and political problems. Kang is especially strong in her analysis of Jesus-as-a-clown-figure featured in some of Rouault's works, as well as of the judge paintings that comment on the justice system of the day. I recommed this book not only to people interested in art history and general history of the era, but also those who are concerned with expressing religious ideas in a modern setting. Again, an excellent book on a fascinating subject.
