More about this artwork

Welcome to a captivating glimpse into early 20th century Havana through the unique artistic lens of Jules Pascin, displayed in his enchanting painting titled . Capturing the vibrant street life of Cuba's illustrious capital, this artwork invites viewers into a delightfully animated scene brimming with life and color.In "Havana," Pascin masterfully details a bustling market scene, his sketch-like, fluid style evoking a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The scene is alive with figures, each rendered with loose, expressive strokes that suggest movement and conversation. Dominating the foreground, a cart, laden with bright bundles of bananas and dotted with luscious red tomatoes, draws the eye with its vivid hues against the softer backdrop. This cart is not merely a vendor’s stall, but rather a central hub of community interaction, set under a large umbrella that adds a protective canopy to the composition.Animals and humans coexist harmonically in this market environment. A donkey, integral to the daily labor and transport of goods, stands patiently by the cart, subtly emphasizing the role of animal life in urban settings. Nearby, a huddle of locals engages in casual dialogue, their postures relaxed and familiar, suggesting the warm, communal spirit that Pascin perceived in Havana.To the right, a figure leans thoughtfully on a rail, overlooking the scene. This person’s placement and pose offer a quiet contrast to the bustling activity, perhaps reflecting the artist’s own position as an observer of the vibrant cultural tapestry before him.

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.
