Georges-Henri Rouault (French]; 27 May 1871, Paris - 13 February 1958, Paris) was a French painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, whose work is often associated with Fauvism and Expressionism. 'Les Visages,' 'The Faces,' is the subject of the work. The litho utilizes a monochromatic palette, predominantly black and white, which emphasizes the stark contrasts between light and shadow. The work features three human faces, each occupying a distinct section of the composition. Rouault employs a distorted and exaggerated approach to facial features, and renders them with bold brushstrokes, capturing both their individuality and expression while also skillfully balancing abstraction with recognizable features.. The leftmost face within the composition, exhibits a troubled expression with wide eyes, pupils dilated, suggesting fear or anxiety. The mouth is contorted, perhaps conveying pain or uncomfortableness. Lines emphasize the cheekbones, contributing to the faces intensity and dimensions. The central face appears stoic and mysterious. The eyes are downcast, concealing emotions and the elongated nose and high forehead create heightened expressionism. The rightmost face exudes anguish and vulnerability; the mouth is open, as if caught mid-scream. Deep furrows on the forehead and around the eyes convey emotional strain, again, highlighting specific feelings and emotions throughout the variety of subjects. The three faces symbolize the multifaceted nature of human experience. Each face represents a different emotional statefear, mystery, and anguish.
