The clown was a pivotal figure in Rouault's oeuvre. The clown and performer occupy a deeply pivotal, almost sacred place in Georges Rouault's oeuvre, often serving as tragic-comic symbols of the human condition. In Le Jongleur, Rouault captures the dramatic presence and emotional resonance typical of his mature printmaking style.
Cirque was originally conceived to accompany texts by André Suarès. The publication was canceled in 1932 after Vollard read the manuscript and decided that Suarès' caricatures would affront his "Clientèle Americaine."
