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.
