About the Item

Cuban Women by Jules Pascin (1885-1930) Pencil on paper 6 ¾ x 2 ⅞ inches unframed (17.145 x 7.3152 cm) 14 ¼ x 10 ½ inches framed (36.195 x 26.67 cm) Estate stamp on middle left Description: Jules Pascin was a Bulgarian painter who, contrary to his American citizenship, found his primary audience and success in Paris during the early twentieth century. In his early life, he frequently moved through Europe and America (particularly the South) before gaining citizenship in the United States and returning to Paris. He is best known for his drawings of women, often of prostitutes. This interest in the female body, particularly a non-posed and candid one, carried through his entire artistic career. His practice focused particularly on this female body as a means for evoking character, personality, and emotion apart from the face. He is often considered central to the emerging Paris art scene in the 1900s and was revered in his lifetime for his eccentric, esoteric persona and artwork. This pencil drawing by Jules Pascin contains the artist's typical attention to detail and interest in figure drawing that can be seen across much of his other work. In this drawing, we can see the common subject matter of women that Pascin is most often interested in depicting. Though simple in medium and composition, Pascin uses only a few, simple lines to denote a swaying figure and a few other static figures, outlined by a shaded rectangle.
