    CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY JULES PASCIN WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK CITY JULES PASCIN From an original etching bv Emil <>rlik CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY JULES PASCIN WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY MARTIN BIRNBAUM JANUARY 30th-FEBRUARY 20th 1915 BERLIN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY 305 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK CITY JULES PASCIN ONLY the wise Americans in Paris find their way to the Café du Dòme, and accordingly it is not surprising to find that Jules Pascin, the most distinguished artist in the group of young men that until recently met there, is not known to our dilettants. Moreover he is an artist's artist, a*man who works to please himself and who produces the kind of art that the bourgeoisie the world over is anxious to smash with cheap cudgels. It was there­ fore an embarrassing relief for him to find that when he came suddenly upon us,— charmingly simple and unheralded,—the con­ tents of his portfolio moved one of our cleverest critics to exclaim,—with a profound enthusiasm not at all characteristic of him,— that as far as modern art is concerned, nothing of greater importance may happen throughout the winter, than an exhibition of this artist's work. Pascin himself is extremely modest about his achievements, and we rather regret that he has not brought along some of his more 3 pretentious oil paintings which were among the memorable things at the annual exhibi­ tions of the Berlin Secession. Essentially, however, his is an intimate art which can be appreciated better in a private study than in a public gallery, and he is very fairly repre­ sented by the present collection of his works.

  • Sonia Delaunay's Yellow Nude, 1908
    © COPYRIGHT by Laura Ryan 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SUBVERTING ORIENTALISM AND PRIMITIVISM? SONIA DELAUNAY'S YELLOW NUDE, 1908 BY Laura Ryan ABSTRACT In this thesis, I demonstrate that Yellow Nude includes a number of pointed references to historic stereotypes and contemporaneous tropes that embroil the artist’s identity in the primitivist ideologies she apparently appropriates. I first identify the background design within the painting as that of a turn of the century ikat textile, with Central Asian, Jewish, and Russian production histories that mimic the biographic transnationality of Delaunay herself. Delaunay therefore invites viewers to conflate the figure in the painting with the woman who made it, capitalizing on the perceived “exoticism” of her “primitive” cultural upbringing. From this perspective, the featured figure’s mask-like face, disjunctive body, and gender ambiguity further implicate, interrogate, and perhaps undermine international fascination with the “primitive.” I argue that in Yellow Nude Sonia Delaunay both recreated the popular type of the exotic foreign woman and subtly undercut the ideologies behind the genre through specific references likely legible to those who shared her background. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ......................................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION: THE VANGUARD NUDE,

Origin of the project: The organizers of this new fair are none other than those who created the Salon du Dessin, the international scope of which has contributed to making Paris one of the major centres for this domain. Because they believe in the future of Paris and in specialized fairs, they have decided to apply the fundamental principles and demands that governed the organization of the Salon du Dessin to this event: • the stands are drawn by lot; • a comfortable setting, conceived without ostentation and on a human scale; • a vetting committee comprised of well known specialists who are not exhibitors. and reveal the wealth of the three major disciplines, painting, drawing and sculpture which will be freely associated on each of the stands. Diversity and quality are the hallmarks of this new fair, whether in media, periods, subjects on view, but also budgets because museum quality works exhibited by major galleries can be shown alongside “discoveries” by young dealers presented at lower prices.

Noting that the School artists have an overwhelming foreign nationality, the paper asks what conditions were necessary for foreign artists to not only live and exhibit in Paris but to succeed as artists. The conclusions reached through a statistical study are that artists only began to succeed in Paris after 1900. Finally, the paper argues that the ability of foreign nationals to thrive in Paris is related to networks of relationships centered on communal studios.

  • Religious History and Culture of the Balkans
    Religious History and Culture of the Balkans Edited by Nicolae Roddy 4. The Role of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church on the Subject of the Rescue of the Bulgarian Jews During the Holocaust (1941-1944) Lea Cohen, former Bulgarian ambassador to Brussels, EU, and NATO; former member of the Bulgarian Parliament Abstract Generations of Bulgarians have been inspired by the national legend relating how the Bulgarian state and its monarch, King, Boris III, mobilized to save Bulgaria’s 48,000 Jews, plus more than 11,000 Jews in regions annexed by Bulgaria in Macedonia, Serbia, and northern Greece during the war. This paper calls the national myth into question, examining the historical realities behind the deportations in response to the questions of who exactly acted to save Jews, and from whom were they actually being saved? The paper asserts that the hierarchy of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, most notably Metropolitans Kiril and Stefan, were among the true heroes, mobilizing actions aimed at protecting Bulgaria’s Jews. It argues that the moral dimension of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church created a timeless historical moment, that despite the national myth to the contrary, neither the government nor the monarch’s territorial and realpolitik ambitions were able to bring about. 51 Religious History and Culture of the Balkans Keywords: Bulgaria, Holocaust, Bulgarian Orthodox Church Introduction If you should ask, what are the three things with which Bulgaria prides itself before the world, it is almost certain that most people shall unanimously answer “the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews during the Second World War.”1 The celebrated rescue of Bulgaria’s 48,000 Jews is as much a part of Bulgaria’s national identity as rose oil and kiselo mlyako, its own unique kind of curdled milk.

  • A JOURNEY in COLOUR Mac Orlan and the Painters 2 INTRODUCTION
    A JOURNEY IN COLOUR Mac Orlan and the painters 2 INTRODUCTION PIERRE MAC ORLAN (1882 – 1970) The young Pierre Dumarchey was an aspiring painter. He stencil painted the walls of the future International Exhibition. Between 1901 and 1905 he earned his living as a proof-reader at the Dépêche de Rouen newspaper, an occupation that left him time to paint. In 1905, he composed illustrations for a book by his friend Robert Duquesne: Monsieur Homais voyage, and, for the first time, signed under his pen name, Mac Orlan. He was soon discharged from military service, and, in late 1905, returned to Montmartre where he was engaged by an “authoress” to ghost-write novels inspired by her travels. Together they visited Naples and Palermo before he again returned to Montmartre, staying this time from 1907 to 1911. He eked out a living writing erotic literature before finally finding a more viable line in comic tales that he illustrated himself for the weekly magazines Le Rire and Le Sourire. He wrote two novels: La maison du Retour écœurant (1912) and Le Rire jaune (1913), followed by his first adventure novel, Chant de l’équipage. In the years after 1920, though the writer replaced the painter, Mac Orlan would say: “When I write, I have the impression that I’m painting.” Throughout his career as a writer, Mac Orlan would take an interest in the work of other painters, irrespective of their celebrity. He wrote some 180 texts on the subject, befriending a number of painters and working some of them into characters in his novels 3 BEHIND THE PAINTERS, THE MEN, AND FRIENDSHIPS 4 Pierre Mac Orlan enjoyed close relations with a number of artists, many of whom, including Picasso, Vlaminck, and Pascin, he would bump into or visit in Montmartre; others, like Bergevin and Louvrier, he knew in Rouen; Péron, Sévellec and others in Brest.
