The artist's works and style

Jules Pascin's art is characterized by striking figurative representation and a profound exploration of the female body. His works are captivating in their sensuality and expressiveness, whether quickly sketched or detailed. His style demonstrates a technical mastery and sensitivity that reflect his vision of the life and society of his time. Pascin was a tormented artist whose art offers an intimate look at human emotions and the pleasures of decadent life.

The life of Jules Pascin

Jules Pascin, whose real name was Julius Mordecai Pincas, was born in Bulgaria in 1885. Born into a family of wealthy merchants, he pursued his artistic passion despite his parents' disagreement. After training in Vienna, Budapest, Berlin and Munich, he moved to Paris in 1905. He joined the Paris School and made a name for himself with his erotic drawings of the capital's nightlife. His artistic career was marked by fruitful exchanges with artists representing German Expressionism, such as Émile Nolde. 

During the First World War, Pascin left the Paris art scene and moved to the United States because of his Bulgarian nationality. After an exhibition in 1912, he traveled to Florida, Texas and Cuba, before returning to Paris. He then explored Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The women who shared his life were his main source of inspiration. His depictions of the female body, whether detailed or sketched, reflect Pascin's loose mores. He had a studio in Montmartre, close to that of Kees Van Dongen.

Jules Pascin was a talented and ambitious artist, but his personal struggles hampered his artistic career. His works can be found in collections worldwide and have been exhibited in various art galleries.

Jules Pascin committed suicide in 1930 after a tormented life.
