Note: 'Well' Fry wrote to Marie Mauron in 1919, 'I found a young artist hitherto almost unkown to me: Rouault who is surely one of the great geniuses of all times. I can only compare his drawings to the T'ang art of the Chinese, of which only a few specimens remain.' Fry wrote more extensively about Rouault's work in his publication Transformations in 1926.
