Im Leben von Georges Rouault
Das ganze Leben1885–1890
Apprenticeship with a Stained-Glass Maker
At fourteen he was apprenticed to a master painter and restorer of stained glass. This experience is considered a likely source of the heavy black contours and glowing colors of Rouault's mature painting.
c. 1895
Turn to the Catholic Faith
After an emotional crisis in 1895 or later, he became a devout Catholic; the Christian faith defined the principal themes of his mature work.
1898
Curator of the Gustave Moreau Museum
After the death of his teacher Gustave Moreau, whose favorite pupil he had been, he was appointed curator of the Moreau Museum in Paris.
1903
Co-Founder of the Salon d'Automne
Having become acquainted with Moreau's pupils Matisse and Marquet, he became one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne.
1910
Solo Exhibition at the Galerie Druet
Rouault's first solo exhibition was held at the Galerie Druet in Paris. His painting was studied by the German artists who would later form the core of Expressionism.
1917
Contract with Ambroise Vollard
For the artist, who had been living in dire poverty, a contract with the collector and dealer Ambroise Vollard secured decades of material comfort and freedom in his work.
