About the Item

Acclaimed wood block artist Paul Jacoulet created these six framed Surimono depicting six different portraits of varied Eastern peoples. Surimono were designed as greeting cards and Christmas cards by Jacoulet and created yearly. These were done mostly in 1937, 1939, 1940, 1941 and as late as 1953. They each measure 5 7/8 inches by 3 3/4 inches showing inside the mats. The overall frame of giltwood faux bamboo is 25 inches by 9 1/2 inches. None observed unframed. Framed with non-glare glass. Framed with three each in a vertical set. They include: Chagrin d'Amour: Kusai (1940) w/foxing, Hokkan-Zan: Coree (1937), Les Jades: Mandechoukuo (1941) in one frame. The back of this frame shows moisture marks in the sealing paper (see pic) and the print Chagrin d'Amour has foxing. In the second frame: Decembre: Japon (1953), Nuit de Neige: Coree (1939), La Cruche: Mongolie (1939). The 166 wood-block subjects he produced during his lifetime concentrated on portraits of the indigenous peoples of Asia and the South Seas. In addition to his large size ( oban ) wood-block prints, he produced more than a dozen miniature (surimono) prints that he used as Christmas cards. Each miniature was printed with the same number of blocks as the original oban -size prints. The French artist Paul Jacoulet(1896-1960) grew up in Japan, and from an early age the young Jacoulet displayed a precocious genius for drawing and painting. Tutored by master Japanese artists, Jacoulet became one of the few non-Japanese artists to master the art of ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock printing. Indeed Jacoulet took this traditional Japanese art form to unparalleled levels of technical proficiency, adding a richness of color palette, printing effects, and exquisitely detailed line that few if any Japanese wood-block artists have been able to achieve. During the late 1920s and 1930s, Jacoulet traveled extensively throughout the islands of Micronesia, as well as making numerous trips to China, Korea, and throughout his adopted country of Japan.
