Swan symbolism in Fauvism

'Fallen Swan with the floppy boobies' - Anon

'Nude' by George Rouault
We are very excited here at Swan Headquarters and would like to express our thanks to Lulu of Milton for sending us the image of the spectacular 'fauvre' painting 'Fallen Swan with the floppy boobies'. 

We have reason to believe this painting by an anonymous artist may be an undiscovered masterpiece by the painter George Rouault.  Note the similarities in use of colour, brush strokes and the shear 'bravura' of the work. The team here at Swan HQ were considering asking Bendor Grosvenor to undertake a provenance search but in the end we thought it best to let the painting speak for itself. 

Quack!

We can only wonder as to what 'Old Joe' would have made of it? Perhaps.....................................
