Collotype is a printing process invented in the mid-19th century famous for producing extremely fine detail and rich tonal gradation, using photograph negatives to create printing plates. Widely used for art books, postcards, and fine art reproductions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, today collotype is commercially uncommon, but still practiced by a few master printers. Collotype prints are admired by photographers, printmakers, and collectors for its unmatched subtlety.
Rouault created paintings and prints more bitterly satiric than those of Daumier, Degas, or Lautrec. But Rouault had a great love for the circus and to the clowns and acrobats he brought stature and dignity. Rouault produced a series of color etchings in a luminous technique which translates brilliantly the unique character of his paintings in gouache or oil.
