More about this artwork
"Les Tunisiennes" by Jules Pascin features an expressionistic portrayal of two Tunisian women. The painting employs a soft, somewhat blurred style, emphasizing gentle color transitions and mood over detailed, sharp forms, which is characteristic of Pascin's work. Pascin, known for his depictions of women, captures a candid moment in this piece.On the left, one woman is depicted standing; she appears to be in mid-motion, as suggested by the positioning of her body and limbs, possibly engaging in a traditional activity or dance. She is dressed in a long, flowing garment that is predominantly white, accented with darker tones that suggest folds and shadow. Her head is adorned with a colorful headband, and her posture and the turn of her head add to the dynamic feeling of the scene.The other woman is seated on the right, giving the viewer a more direct gaze, which establishes a connection with her. She wears a more colorful dress compared to the standing figure, featuring bluish and pink hues, and a headscarf that adds a touch of personal style.

Nudes, street scenes and landscapes of women and tropical locations by Bulgarian-born American painter Jules Pascin (1885-1930). Born to an affluent family, Pascin was educated in Austria and Germany before moving to Paris in 1905. It was there that he became associated with the Modernist movement. He attached himself to the human condition and was known for painting portraits of nude and half-dressed women. He stands in the grand tradition of the romantic, bohemian artist.
