Abstract

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of George Rouault, and Boston College's McMullen Museum is hosting an exhibit of Rouault's finest works.聽The exhibit highlights the many outward 鈥渕asks鈥� that Rouault loved to paint鈥攖hose of circus players, prostitutes and judicial figures, as well as the iconic sainte face (holy face) of Christ, definitively symbolized by the key figure of V茅ronique (vera icon)鈥攖he exhibition recovers Rouault鈥檚 keen sense of disjunction, unintended consequences, and ironic reversals. This irony (a sometimes bitterly satirical one) was often glossed over by a conventional piety in the presentation of his work. Join us for a fascinating聽presentation about Rouault and the exhibit.
