Julius Mordecai PINCAS, 1885 - 1930 biography
Pascin by Man Ray, Paris 1923
Jules Pascin was a Bulgarian-born French Expressionist painter. Known under the pseudonym of the “Prince of Montparnasse,” Pascin mainly painted women, often nude or in stages of undress, in a fleeting, gestural aesthetic akin to the movements of Fauvism or Cubism.
Catalogue Raisonné
This new edition is not exhaustive like any catalogue raisonné by definition, but it allows for a broad coverage of the work of a particularly productive artist. In order to respect the chronological order of the collection (from 1902 to 1930), the newly listed works have been placed among the others, requiring us to renumber the collection. The virtue of this new edition is above all to present the maximum number of works in color and in better definition. It also complements the old catalogs by placing the new works in the already known general context. Its consultation is easier, which allows both Pascin enthusiasts and collectors as well as those involved in the art market to easily find a reference or a title.
Authentication
The Pascin Committee's Authentication Commission was created at the initiative of the Pascin Committee.
Its mission is to submit works attributed to Pascin, submitted by any interested party, for examination by qualified experts.
To submit a work to the Pascin Committee, you must send a photograph, the work's dimensions, and any other information about it by mail to the Committee's address or by email.
Access to the Commission's examination procedures is subject to the payment of a financial contribution to the Pascin Committee.
