Georges Rouault Quotations

Anyone can revolt. It is more difficult silently to obey our own inner promptings, and to spend our lives finding sincere and fitting means of expression for our temperament and our gifts. -- Georges Rouault


For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.-- Georges Rouault


My ambition is to be able to someday paint a Christ so moving that those who see Him will be converted. -- Georges Rouault
