The dust jacket is in good condition (age-toning inside, tiny spots on front and back, white circle on front where price tag was affixed). 10 x 9, 184 pages, 26 ounces XX [From the dust jacket flaps] Jules Pascin (1885—1930) stands, like his friend Modigliani, in the great tradition of the romantic, bohemian artist. A charming, lavish host, Pascin was closely associated with the artists, musicians, and effervescent literati of the 1920's. The Bulgarian-born artist was a major figure in the School of Paris before coming to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. In the United States Pascin traveled extensively, and was particularly drawn to the southern states and to the Caribbean islands. He recorded his travels in brilliant, instantaneous pencil sketches, sometimes touching them with delicate washes of color. Dispassionately he painted field workers and the picturesque citizens of a tropical land steaming in the sun, mules and wagons waiting in the shade of palm trees, yachts swinging in motionless harbors. These drawings Pascin assembled into two scrapbooks, regarding them highly himself. After his suicide in 1930 one scrapbook passed into the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the second became a prized treasure of the Marion Koogler McNay Art Institute of San Antonio. The McNay Art Institute, with the University of Texas Press, here presents one hundred and seven exquisite drawings from the scrapbook, eight of them in color, the first extensive publication of drawings by one of the major draughtsmen of the twentieth century. While Pascin himself was relatively impervious to the influence of other artists, he exerted a striking influence on American art of the 1920's and 1930's. Kuniyoshi, Ganso, Brook, Dehn, Biddle, and others whom he met in the United States all bear the imprint of his style, which they have generously acknowledged, and even of the subject matter to which he drew their attention. He was, Francis Biddle wrote, intensely of our fluid, contemporary world, suffering from its aimlessness, a child of its tolerant skepticism, free from traditions, but also without roots or hardy and impassioned prejudices. Henry McBride wrote touchingly: I had the greatest admiration for Pascin. I never met him without feeling his superiority. He was completely the artist. It was so natural for him to be an artist that unconsciously he complimented everyone he met by assuming that they, too, were artists. It was partly due to this sweetness in his character that he exerted such a great influence upon his fellow painters, particularly here in America where we are not used to so entire a devotion to the arts, and where it is so difficult to be an artist. It was due to his essential integrity as an artist, I think, that he died. Pascin, Jules (illustrator).…
