Rouault, Georges (1878-1958) Miserere.

Description:

Rouault, Georges (1878-1958) Miserere. Pencil mock-up for title page; 20 x 25 in., on brown paper; point sizes are noted at the end of each line, typeface described as, "Initiales dix-huitieme siecle, catalogue Bernard Freres."
A remnant of Vollard's ill-fated publication of Rouault's prints, this sheet dates from 1940, when Andre Suares was planning to contribute accompanying poems. Ultimately, Suares withdrew from the project, and the prints were published by Etoile in 1948.
Estimate $200-300
