PAST EXHIBITION

Georges Rouault / Makoto Fujimura: Soliloquies

November 12, 2009—December 24, 2009

“Soliloquies” is an exhibition featuring the art of Georges Rouault (1871-1958) and Makoto Fujimura (b 1960). It comprises a collection of original works by the renowned Rouault paired with Fujimura's large scale paintings created in homage. While Rouault, a contemporary of Matisse, Picasso, and Chagall, has been associated with many artistic movements, he remains in his own category. Stylistically and thematically Rouault has always been difficult to classify. The juxtaposition of Rouault’s work with that of a contemporary artist of Japanese descent, who claims him as an influence, presents this great painter in a contemporary global dialogue.
