About the Item

This beautiful color woodblock print by Paul Jacoulet was printed in 1940. This limited-edition work is numbered on the verso: 102 from the edition of 350. However, fewer than 175 were printed. Titled lower right: Apres la Danse “Celebes” It is from the ‘Korea Series’ and features a beautiful dancer resting. Signed in pencil in the image lower left with his red butterfly mark. Handmade Koyoto paper with JP watermark. Mint condition with deckle edged. Paper size: 18 ½ x 14. Image size: 15 1/4 x 11 7/8. This print has never been matted or framed and has great color. Paul Jacoulet (1896-1960) is best known for his striking portraits of the natives of Asia and the South Seas. He designed over 160 woodblock prints. Following in the collaborative tradition of ukiyo-e printmaking, Jacoulet recruited talented carvers and printers who could duplicate the delicate lines of his drawings and watercolors. The exquisite quality of Jacoulet's prints was due in great part to his exacting standards, and his use of costly materials like mica, crushed pearl and powdered metals. Born in Paris in 1896, Jacoulet was raised in Tokyo from an early age. His father Frederic Jacoulet was a university professor hired by the Japanese government to teach French to young aristocrats. Jacoulet was fluent in Japanese language and social customs, and he studied a wide range of traditional arts. Jacoulet remained in Japan through World War II and continued to produce prints up until the time of his death in 1960. Although many of his prints were sold by subscription, he also sold a number of prints to American military officers stationed in Japan.
