Artist biography
Bulgarian-Jewish artist Jules Pascin was born Julius Mordecai Pincas at Vidin in Bulgaria to a wealthy Spanish father and Serbian-Italian mother, and brought up in Bucharest where some of his earliest drawings were surreptitiously undertaken in a local brothel. Indeed, throughout his career, his most frequent subject was the female body, often in casual poses, nude or partly dressed. Educated initially in Vienna and later at artist Moritz Heymann’s academy in Munich, the artist spent a brief period in Berlin employed in the creation of satirical magazine drawings. It was his father’s embarrassment over precisely these drawings that forced the artist, at the age of twenty, to change his name to ‘Jules Pascin’ (Pascin being an anagram of Pincas).
In December 1905, Pascin moved to Paris and began contributing drawings to Simplicissimus, a satirical German magazine published in Munich. His first paintings were influenced by Cézanne and the Fauves and were exhibited in his first solo exhibition at the Paul Cassirer Gallery in Berlin. Pascin continued to exhibited his works at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, the Berlin Secession and the Sonderbund-Aussstellung in Cologne. He also regularly exhibited drawings, caricatures and prints, many of which were sold to various newspapers and magazines. Depressed over his inability to achieve critical success as a painter, Pascin enrolled at the Académie Colarossi in Paris to deepen his training and devoted much of his attention to copying Old Masters in the Louvre. Twelve of his works were shown at the famous 1913 Armory Show in New York City.
To avoid service in the Bulgarian army during the First World War, Pascin escaped to London and left for the United States in October 1914. A few weeks later his lover and future-wife, the painter Hermine David (whom he met in 1907) sailed to join him and both remained in the United States for the duration of the war. They settled in the Southern states where Pascin took American citizenship and taught art in Savannah (Georgia) before marrying David at New York City in 1918 (witnessed by the painters Max Weber and Maurice Sterne).
Returning to Paris in 1922. Pascin and his wife rented a studio in Montmartre and became friends with artists such as Marc Chagall and Amedeo Modigliani. His models were the local dancer girls and prostitutes and Pascin soon became an icon of the bohemian community inheriting the sobriquet 'The Prince of Montparnasse'. Throughout the 1920s the artist produced a series of fleetingly rendered oil paintings, depicting petite filles waiting for their clients and models anticipating the end of their sitting. These pictures sold readily, but the money was quickly spent which forced Pascin to supplement his income as a book illustrator. A witty presence, always wearing a bowler hat, Pascin was famous as the host of numerous large parties and whenever he was invited elsewhere for dinner he arrived with as many bottles of wine as he could carry. One of his Parisian of the period was Ernest Hemingway, whose memoir A Moveable Feast includes a chapter called "With Pascin At the Dôme" which recounts a night in 1923 with Pascin and two of his young models.
On the eve of his ever solo exhibition in 1930 at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris a tormented Pascin, who had struggled for many years with depression and alcoholism, committed suicide. "[D]riven to the wall by his own legend" according to art critic Gaston Diehl, Pascin died aged forty-five after slitting his wrists and hanging himself in the studio at 36 Boulevard de Clichy in Montmartre. Hauntingly, he left a message written on the wall in blood for his mistress Lucy Krohg. As a mark of exceptional respect, several of the galleries in Paris closed on the day of his funeral when thousands from the artistic community – including waiters and bartenders from the restaurants and saloons Pascin had frequented - all dressed in black, walked for three miles behind his coffin.

- La Toilette - Post-Impressionist Nude Oil Painting by Georges D'EspagnatBy Georges d'EspagnatLocated in Marlow, BuckinghamshireSigned oil on original canvas nude circa 1914 by French post impressionist painter Georges D'espagnat. The work depict a nude woman standing beside a wash basin in a boudoir. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 45"x34" Unframed: 37"x26" Provenance: Private collection - Netherlands From the beginning of his career, it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagnet to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France. In 1903, d'Espagnet was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont's Evil Prayers ( Oraisons mauvaises) (1896), The Saints of Paradise ( Les Saintes du paradis) (1898), Simone (1907), Sistine ( Sixtine) (1922); Alphonse Daudet's The Immortal ( L'Immortel) (1930); André Gide's The Pastoral Symphony ( La Symphonie pastorale); Francis Jammes' Clearings in the Sky ( Chairières dans le ciel) (1948). D'Espagnet belongs to the group of artists who made the Courrier Français so successful. The drawings of his which are published in it are strongly expressive and some bear comparison with the designs of the great Renaissance masters. He also contributed to L'Image. He often placed cheerful nudes in a landscape, reminding us that, though he moved away from the Fauves, he retained their freedom of colour and arabesque. He painted many portraits, including those of Albert André, André Barbier, Victor Boucher, Déodat de Séverac, Albert Marque, André Marty and Albert Roussel. He also painted mural decorations, including a wall for the Palais de la Découverte (1937), the ceiling of the Victor Hugo Room in the Palais du Luxembourg (1939), a decorative panel for the Palais de Justice, Toulouse (1941) and interior decorations for private houses. His landscapes are Impressionist in inspiration, and work for a certain sobriety, an intimacy, both in their composition - one, two or three sketched figures and large open spaces - and in the choice of colours and treatment with the special hazy brushstroke that marks his style. D'Espagnet took part in a number of annual Parisian exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Salon d'Automne (from 1903 to 1949, except in special circumstances), the Salon de la Libre Ésthétique, Brussels (1899, 1901), the Berlin Secessionists (1940). He also exhibited at the first Salon de la Société de la Gravure sur Bois. Among other exhibitions were 1912, A Century of French Art ( Centenaire de l'art français), St Petersburg; 1916, Kunstverein, Winterthur; 1918, 1926, Galerie M. Bertheim, Paris; 1930, Contemporary French Art...Category
