Despite facing challenges during World War II, he continued to produce art until his death in 1960, leaving behind a significant legacy in the art world.

First Edition Woodblock Print Coucher de Soleil à Menado Celebes Paul Jacoulet
By Paul Jacoulet
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Japanese Woodblock print by Paul Jacoulet (French, 1896-1960) entitled Coucher de Soleil à Menado, Celebes (Sunset in Menado, Celebes). Created in 1938, this is a first edition carved by Maeda and printed by Fujii and numbered 135/150 in Kanji verso.
The print, a tongue-in-cheek subversive reinterpretation of the controversial 1863 painting Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe by Edouard Manet (1832-1883), is one of the most well-received prints by the artist. The work depicts a couple posed under the sunset in their traditional attires; except that this time, the male, with his back facing toward the viewer, is scantily clothed. The female, posed frontal, struck a more traditionally male pose...
