Notes:

Jules Pascin was a larger-than-life artist who defied easy categorisation. The Bulgarian-born, Viennese-trained artist moved to Paris in 1905 and quickly fell into influential circles, showing his paintings and prints in the Salon des Indépendants and satellite exhibitions of the Berlin Secession. Though most often remembered for his delicately-toned, thinly-painted studies of performers and prostitutes in various stages of undress, Pascin also depicted the villages and cafés of his surroundings in denser Cubist and German Expressionist styles.
