About the Publication:
Pascin, published in Monte-Carlo in 1954 under the direction of Andre Sauret and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, stands as one of the most refined tributes to the artist’s oeuvre within the distinguished postwar series of French art albums. The album combines impeccable lithographic craftsmanship with scholarly presentation, highlighting the poetic subtlety and expressive line central to Pascin’s artistic legacy. Printed on grand velin Renage paper, the publication exemplifies the collaboration between Sauret and Mourlot that defined a generation of fine art editions, uniting artists, printers, and publishers dedicated to preserving the vitality of modern art in print. The album reflects the technical mastery of Mourlot’s atelier—celebrated for its work with Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, and Léger—while reinforcing Editions du livre’s commitment to producing luxurious, museum-quality publications that captured the spirit and emotion of twentieth-century masters. As a fine art album, Pascin occupies a central place among mid-century European art editions, representing both a celebration of the artist’s humanistic vision and a testament to the collaborative artistry that sustained modern printmaking.
About the Artist:
Jules Pascin (1885–1930) was a Bulgarian-born French painter and draftsman whose exquisite sensitivity, refined draftsmanship, and poetic vision made him one of the most evocative and influential figures of early modern art. Known as “the Prince of Montparnasse,” Pascin became a central figure of the Ecole de Paris and a defining presence in the bohemian world of early 20th-century Paris. Born Julius Mordecai Pincas in Vidin, Bulgaria, to a wealthy Sephardic Jewish family, he studied in Vienna and Munich before moving to Paris in 1905, where he quickly established himself among the leading modernists of his era, including Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, Georges Braque, and Marc Chagall. Deeply influenced by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, Pascin created paintings and drawings distinguished by their delicate lines, soft tonal harmonies, and psychological depth. His nudes, portraits, and scenes of Parisian cafe life radiate an atmosphere of quiet intimacy and emotional nuance, capturing the fragility and beauty of human existence. Unlike contemporaries such as Picasso, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray, who pushed toward abstraction and surrealism, Pascin remained devoted to figuration, exploring the subtleties of light, gesture, and emotion with unmatched tenderness. His works express sensuality without artifice, revealing the vulnerability and inner life of his subjects through line and color that seem to breathe with human feeling. His studio became a gathering place for artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Henry Miller, and Anais Nin, who admired his introspection and his ability to translate psychological complexity into visual poetry. Though his life was marked by emotional turbulence and melancholy, his art radiated a timeless empathy that transcended style, influencing later artists including Balthus, Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Egon Schiele, and Eric Fischl, who drew inspiration from his fusion of sensuality, sensitivity, and psychological depth. Today, his works are held in major institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where they continue to resonate for their humanism and grace. Standing alongside Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray, Jules Pascin helped define the emotional vocabulary of modern painting, and his legacy endures as one of the most intimate and humanist voices of his century. The highest auction record for Jules Pascin was achieved by Portrait de jeune fille en robe rouge sur fond bleu (1928), which sold for $2,950,500 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on May 8, 2008, confirming his enduring reputation as one of the most refined, psychologically profound, and collectible artists of modern art history.
