作品介绍
This work is sold with a photo-certificate from Isabelle
Rouault.
Painted in 1938, Tzigane belongs to a series of male
characters Georges Rouault painted toward the end of the 1930s. It
portrays a man, absorbed in his thoughts, presented in a humble yet
solemn pose. The way his body squarely occupies the space suggests
strength, while the averted eyes and the serious facial
expr**ession convey earnestness and modesty. In its mood, the work
expresses that Christian value of compassion that characterized
much of Rouault's artistic production.

In its technique, Tzigane perfectly showcases Rouault's
approach to painting, characterised by the use of brilliant
colours, enclosed in thick black lines. This technique, reminiscent
of glazed windows in its effect, is linked to the artist's early
years of apprenticeship in the studio of the glazier Hirsch, an
experience that would leave a strong mark on Rouault.
Tzigane first belonged to the influential art dealer Ambroise
Vollard, who throughout his life had maintained with Rouault a
lasting and consistent relationship. Upon meeting Rouault in 1907
Vollard had in fact bought the entire contents of his studio,
becoming the artist's exclusive dealer from 1917 until his own
death in 1939.
At the time he painted Tzigane, Rouault was enjoying
international success. In 1937 he exhibited extensively at the
Petit Palais in the exhibition Les Maîtres de l'art indépendant,
while Pierre Matisse organized a show of his painting in New York.
The exhibition at the Petit Palais attracted the attention of the
art critic Lionello Venturi, who later dedicated an enthusiastic
monograph to the artist. In 1938, the year he painted Tzigane,
Rouault was also invited to exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in
New York in the first retrospective of his graphic work, a mark of
his international standing.

画家简介
乔治·鲁奥（Georges
Rouault，1871–1958），法国画家，雕塑家，世界上最着名的宗教画家、最杰出的现代版画家之一。他在作品中用强烈的色彩和扭曲的线条描绘人类的痛苦，这些感情激烈的作品使他成为一位艺术大师。他还因非传统的版画复制技术而闻名。
乔治·鲁奥同亨利·马蒂斯一样同出古斯塔夫·莫罗门下，是莫罗最喜爱的学生。在莫罗工作室学习期间，鲁奥的绘画受到莫罗极大的影响。在莫罗去世之后，鲁奥在1901年到利居热结识了若里斯·卡尔·于斯曼，对他今后对巴黎生活景象的关注起到了重要作用。他开始放弃莫罗影响他的所有神话与宗教题材，转而用自然主义的传统来关注巴黎日常生活中的片段。鲁奥在1902年重返巴黎后能够近距离观察巴黎人的生活景象，尤其是那些终日忙碌奔波者的面貌，正如他女儿热纳维耶芙所言，鲁奥的毕生都在作品中回忆与描绘这些景象。

茨冈人在不同的地域有不同的叫法，英国人称他们为吉卜赛人，法国人称他们为波希米亚人，西班牙人称他们为弗拉明戈人，俄罗斯人称他们为茨冈人，阿尔巴尼亚人称他们为埃弗吉特人，希腊人称他们为阿金加诺人，伊朗人称他们为罗里人，斯里兰卡人称他们为艾昆塔卡人……，而吉卜赛人则自称为多姆人（Rom），在吉卜赛人的语言中，“多姆”的原意是“人”。茨冈人的足迹遍及欧洲、亚洲、美洲、北非和澳洲各国，但自第二次世界大战后，巴尔干成为全世界茨冈人最为集中的地区。在巴尔干各国的大小城市，茨冈人无所不在，在南斯拉夫，甚至有“没有茨冈人就不能称作城镇”的谚语。
