Drawings by Jules Pascin 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. Small groups of his drawings were first seen here in the International Exhibition of Mod­ ern Art, and the Exhibition of Austro-Hun- garian Graphic Art (1913). He was born on March 31st, 1885, at Wid- din, Bulgaria, but his youth was spent in Vienna. Artistically he is what the Germans call an auto-didakt,—that is to say, a self- taught man,—and the first real stimulating impulse was an exhibition of French Impres­ sionists. Lautrec and Renoir have remained among his household gods ever since. Before he became a professional artist, however, he spent some time at Bucharest with his father, who was a grain merchant. To-day Pascin is grateful for this business experience, because it liberated him from the influence of schools and brought him into contact with the every­ day life of the people. Eventually his witty drawings came to the notice of the discerning editor of "Simplicissimus," and their instant success in that weekly enabled him in 1905 to 4 go to Paris, where he has been residing ever since. Until the war broke out Pascin was one of a group of foreigners,—Nils von Daniel, Ru­ dolf Grossman, Ernesto de Fiori, Hermann Haller, and others,—who sipped their coffee or liqueur on the corner of the Boulevards Raspail and Montparnasse, while discussing the importance of a Henri Rousseau or Picasso. They were just starting to exhibit as a group known as the "Dòme" when the great war scattered them to every corner of Europe, and they may never meet again. Their art, which has almost no quality in com­ mon, has merits which are popularly recog­ nized only after years of propaganda. Indeed, Pascin's work offers the worst kind of a stum­ bling block to the layman, for he chooses types which, while familiar to, are never men­ tioned by polite society. The wings of his blasé cupids are stained with the mud of the gutter, and his insolent chauffeurs, monstrous women, deformed criminals, emaciated, vi­ cious children, uncanny animals, and careless inmates of the harem, call to mind Otto Wein- inger's unpleasant theories, and encourage the very pernicious habit of raising moral issues which theoretically have nothing to do with an honest attempt to analyze the artistic 5 values of a painting or a piece of sculpture. If Degas is permitted to go behind the stage curtain, and among scrubwomen for his in­ spiration, Pascin's subject matter is his own affair, and it may be argued that we ought to feel grateful to him for discovering so much beauty in ugliness. These drawings, there­ fore, should be judged merely as the works of a marvellous, piercing observer, an artist who gives intense vitality to everything he touches and who is a strange mixture of naïveté and extreme sophistication. Almost daily, Pascin makes studies from life, which may be recog­ nized by their violet color, and his composi­ tions, while not transcripts from nature, call into existence a hitherto unexpressed type of woman. We are awaiting with impatience the first fruits of his sojourn in the Southern States and among the negroes of the West Indies. Already he is following in the foot­ steps of Lafcadio Hearn, and is discovering for himself the peculiar beauties of various types of ebon-hued Americans. The delicious humor which crops out with almost every stroke of his pen will undoubtedly find rare material here. Like so much of the work of Daumier, Beardsley, Lautrec, and Rops, the drawings of Pascin are often superficially perverse, but 6 really they are powerful satirical caricatures. Invariably, too, we find a Gallic charm which has been traced by his German admirers to Watteau. This lyric grace is present in every­ thing he attempts, even when he is stirred by Cubism and Primitivism, but he is not gallant or piquant in the elegant and comparatively innocent eighteenth-century sense. His draw­ ings are at times the last word in erotic raf­ finement. One of his little dishevelled dolls, thrown carelessly on a chaise longue, can be as terrible and suggestive as Beardsley's Mes­ saline, and he would have been the ideal deco­ rator for la maison de la Comtesse Gourdan. His colors are those of fading orchids, and at times they are as exquisite and delicate as the bloom on a Conder panel. His vision is as fresh and intense as a child's, and he culti­ vates an apparent immaturity which should not be confounded with lack of power. Some of the expressive sketches by old masters strike the same peculiar note, and that may account for the ardent enthusiasm which artist col­ lectors like Max Klinger and Emil Orlik evince for these drawings, and also for the fury of those who are mystified by the use which Pascin has made of his rare compe­ tence.

  • 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,

From a Renaissance sculpture to an 18th century painting or a Cubist drawing, schools. 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.

    CHAGALLTH AND THE CIRCLE OF JEWISH PAINTERS OF THE 20 CENTURY WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES M ARC C HAGALL (1887 - 1985) MARC CHAGALL was born July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Russia. From 1907 to 1910, he studied in St. Petersburg at the Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts and later with Leon Bakst. In 1910 he moved to Paris, where he was associated with Guillaume Apollinaire and Robert Delaunay and encountered Fauvism and Cubism. He participated in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne in 1912 and held his first solo show in 1914 at Der Sturm Gallery in Berlin. Chagall visited Russia in 1914 and was prevented from returning to Paris by the outbreak of the war. He settled in Vitebsk where he was appointed Commissar for Art in 1918. He founded the Vitebsk Popular Art School and directed it until his resignation in 1920. He moved to Moscow and executed his first stage designs for the State Jewish Chamber Theater. He returned to Paris in 1923 and his first retrospective took place in 1924 at the Galerie Barbazanges-Hodebert, Paris. In 1933, the Kunsthalle Basel held a major retrospective of his work. During World War II, Chagall fled to the United States. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a retrospective in 1946. He settled permanently in France in 1948 and exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam and London. During 1951, he visited Israel and executed his first sculptures. During the 1960s, Chagall continued to travel widely, often in association with large- scale commissions he received.
