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.
In this watercolor study, Pascin creates a simple yet breathtakingly serene scene of a nameless figure. The anonymous person has their back turned to us, staring out a window. In this piece, Pascin showcases his ability to form complex compositions with a minimal amount of technical work; with just a few lines and colors, he indicates a window with a draped curtain. With a few watered-down muted purples, Pascin creates a slouching form. This technical prowess on Pascin's part led to the production of a piece filled with emotion and intricacy.

- Quiet Contemplation: Rural Serenity in Hagborg's WatercolorBy August HagborgLocated in Stockholm, SEThe artwork we present is a rare watercolor by the distinguished Swedish artist August Hagborg, painted in the later part of his career between 1910 and 1920. This watercolour is a departure from Hagborg's often-seen beach scenes with mussel pickers and instead offers a glimpse into a serene, pastoral moment. The scene is set against a timber house, with a man and a woman standing alongside, their gazes directed away from the viewer, which invites contemplation about the story behind their distant stares. Watercolors by Hagborg are rare, making this piece particularly special. Its fine details suggest a mastery of the medium, likely honed over the years of his extensive career. A written letter from Göteborgs Konstmuseum, dated to the 1940s, suggests a later date for this piece. August Hagborg, born on May 26, 1852, in Gothenburg and passed away on April 30, 1921, in Paris, was a renowned figure in the art world. His education at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1871 to 1874 placed him among peers who would rise to prominence, such as Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. Moving to Paris in the fall of 1875, Hagborg initially painted within the costume genre before finding his niche in coastal landscapes that garnered him accolades and recognition. Hagborg's success was punctuated by his 1879 painting...Category
