...occasional cloud, it is the thought of how swiftly time has flown since he first arrived, a bedazzled Russian Jew, to greet Paris a full half-century ago.

It was over this point that Rouault in 1947 made legal history in France by winning a suit against the heirs of his dealer, Ambroise Vollard, for the return of hundreds of canvases that Rouault claimed were still his property because he never signed them. The court ruled in the artist's favor, declaring that any creator could decide when a creation was finished or not.
