Pierre-Paul Jouve Animal Prints
French, 1880-1973
In the time when the School of Fine Arts and official or special academies promote
the study of human model, Paul Jouve,
influenced by his father, prominent
landscape painter and portraitist, shows
more interest in study of animal models.
Since his childhood, his father took him
to Paris museums and botanic gardens and
to Jardin d’Acclimatation - he will keep coming
back to them during his entire career -
At the age of 16, simultaneously with
his art studies Paul Jouve learns the
art of gravure and the lithography at
Henri Patrice Dillon He was then noticed by Renée Binet, the
architect in charge for the construction
of many buildings at Universal Exhibition
in 1900, who for this occasion order from
Jouve to make two groups of lions and to
decorate the monumental gateway of one
significant frieze in sandstone made by
Alexandre Bigot.
The support of the Gallery Bing where
he exhibited his work in 1905 enables
him to finance his travels to Europe and
Algeria. Numerous journeys he undertook during
his life thanks to awarded scholarships
-Algeria, Equatorial, Africa or Far-East- or historical
events, like those in Greece during the WWI,
enabled him to record new terminology
and numerous graphic and animaliers
repertoires that his talent of drawer,
illustrator, engraver and sculptor
fantastically depicts.
Paul Jouve exhibits in 1911
in the Gallery of Modern Artists, over
one hundred thirty drawings and four
sculptures. The press is unanimous and acknowledges
the contained force and the architecture
of his figures, constancy of his models
and his precise meaning of forms ; Jouve’s
eye sees beyond visible and catches
what is sudden, fugitive, and sometimes
silent ; the animal comes out from the
lines of the drawing, he liked to say.
The press, the critique and the collectors
are also unanimous when in 1921 the
Group of Four was created, gathering
talents like Paul Jouve, Jean Goulden
and François-Louis Schmied under the
leadership of Jean Dunand. Every year
until 1933, the group exhibited in the
Gallery Georges Petit, different pieces
like furniture, works of art, paintings,
book covers and enamels.
Simultaneously, Paul Jouve, now leader of the animaliers,
exhibits with them regularly in the gallery
Brandt. In 1929 it was renamed Gallery
Malesherbes and later around 1933, it
was taken over by Edouard-Marcel Sandoz.
After the war the group exhibited in
the gallery Art vivant and finally, from
1948 to 1957, in circle Volney, also
purchased by Sandoz.
Jouve’s career is marked by prestigious
orders, such as Ocean liner Normandie in 1935, and the literary work he will
illustrate during his career, such as Jungle
book by Kypling in 1919.
In years after the WWII some beautiful
retrospectives of his work took place.
All his life he dedicated his multiple
talent to animal, drawn and statuary
character of his work, without ever
betraying or leaving his virtuosity.
Being a great traveler, from Bedouin
tents to Angkor, he gave to his work an
incomparable and unique diversity made
of light, architecture, expressions
and imagination.to

Paul Jouve (1878-1973)
Paul Jouve was two years old when his father set up his ceramist workshop on Boulevard Saint Jacques in Paris. It is in this artistic universe that he grew up playing with colors, modeling the earth, pampered by his young mother, who dreamed of making a teacher of her. Very early on, his father, seeing his passion for drawing, encouraged him, introduced him to the Jardin des Plantes, where he developed a passion for the big cats that he practiced drawing.
For the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the architect Binet, commissioned a frieze of wild animals of more than 100m representing tigers, bears, lions, bulls, and mouflons. This frieze will be executed in greenish brown glazed flamed sandstone by the sculptor Alexandre Bigot. Binet also ordered four lions from him to decorate the main gate of the Champs Elysees, between the two palaces, and a monumental statue representing a rooster wings outstretched in the center of the gate.
In 1907, Jouve was awarded a scholarship from the General Government of Algeria, and along with Léon Cauvy...

Bibliographie /Literature
Gaston Suisse, splendeur du laque art déco. Emmanuel Bréon. Somogy Éditions d'art, Paris 2013, reproduite page 105 (un autre exemplaire reproduit)
The artist made a wood engraving of which he made about twenty prints himself.
These proofs were not marketed as is, Gaston Suisse reworked each of the proofs using Indian ink washes in order to obtain different effects for each proof, which are thus unique original works.
Born in 1896 in a family of artists, his father Georges was a close friend of Siegfried Bing and a great lover of Japanese art and a bibliophile. He passed his taste for art to his son whom he often took to draw at the Botanic Garden . Around 1910, Gaston Suisse, who hasn't entered yet the artistic school, met Paul Jouve, then 18 years his elder, who was already famous.
In 1911, at the age of 17, he entered the National School of Decorative Art where he followed the teachings of Paul Renouard. Thanks to his knowledge and taste for the Japanese art, he chose lacquer painting as his specialty. His practice of this noble and demanding subject were so much appreciated that he was awarded with two gold medals in 1913 and 1914. Mobilized during the war , he joined the army and go in Salonika where he found his friend Jouve. In 1918, he finished his studies at the School of Applied Arts in order to perfect his training. He learned in particular the techniques of gilding and oxidation of metals. The first productions of Gaston Suisse, furniture and objects in lacquer with geometrical patterns, were an instant success and Suisse was appointed as member of Salon d'Automne in 1924, the very year of his first exhibition. Considered as an artist-decorator, his sincere and deep friendship with Jouve linked him in parallel with the groups of the animaliers of the Jardin des Plantes and became a close friend of Edouard-Marcel Sandoz. When travelling to Maghreb and Middle-East between 1923 and 1925, he produced numerous drawings representing antelopes, apes and fennec foxes...
