...Gaité Parisienne, most ingratiating of the new ballets, the tinseled, Second-Empire melodies of Jacques Offenbach set off a riot of color and horseplay, in which the ubiquitous Massine danced the part of a visiting Peruvian roustabout...
Excellence of The Wind lay not only in its severe economy of line, color and composition but in its classic clarity of mood. By comparison People (see cut), by U.S. Artist Arnold Blanch, winner of third prize ($500), seemed a stiff bit of social consciousness greatly damaged by the fumbling inclusion of Washington, D.C.

...That is why he drew so constantly the dancers of the Paris Opera. The one painting of a "Ballet Dancer" on display illustrates his characteristic treatment of this subject.

Most were done at the instance of Vollard for that publisher's fiercely faithful and interminably delayed de luxe editions. Several magnificent portraits were included: of Moreau, Verlaine, Baudelaire. In the color etchings art followers found new, bright colors, strange to Rouault, as if medieval gaiety were entering his medieval gloom. But the most impressive etchings were a series, Miserere et Guerre, in which Rouault's myth-figures expressed the spiritual degradation and agony of War. Typical example: Homo Homini Lupus...
