Wednesday Mornings with Bea: Jules Pascin: The Last Bohemian Prince, The Wandering Jew, The King of Three Mounts: Montmatre, Mountparnesse and Mount Venus
“No other artist, with the exception of Picasso,
has drawn with as much passion and diabolical brilliance”
George Waldemar
Julius Mordechai Pincas was born in Vidin, Bulgaria, in 1885. All he wanted to do was to draw, paint, and live the life! Already at 16, he was an “habitué” of the brothels, slept there, felt at home among the prostitutes and the clients, sketching them in their most intimate relationships.
Julius Pincas changed his name to the anagram Pascin not to offend his family because of his way of life and most of all because of the erotic content of his paintings. He drunk too much, he loved too much, he partied too much…But that was the only way he knew.
His unique sensuous style will enthrall you! Nobody has painted the human flesh like he did. A musical vibrato of caresses…yes! He caressed the canvas. His mother-of-pearl effect is still today unsurpassed.
Although associated with what is called L’Ecole de Paris, The School of Paris, - together with Chagall, Zadkine, Modigliani, Kisling, Soutine, all foreigners, all Jews-, Pascin never belonged to any “movement.” The dance of “isms” did not appeal to him. Pascin followed his own creative path, recognizable by the way he entranced line and color
