More about this artwork
"Southern Landscape" by Jules Pascin, painted in 1917, offers a vibrant and lively portrayal of a bustling scene in the American South. Pascin, known for his expressive and somewhat abstract style, captures an array of activities that energize the canvas. The painting is set in a rustic village where figures are engaged in various daily tasks against a backdrop of lush, tropical vegetation.In the foreground, a man on horseback interacts with a figure seated in a wagon, suggesting a moment of casual exchange or trade. Nearby, individuals walk, sit, and engage in conversation, contributing to the overall sense of community and activity. The artist uses swaths of bold colors and loose brushstrokes to convey movement and the vibrancy of life, with the yellow and green hues of the trees enhancing the tropical atmosphere.This piece is a wonderful example of Pascin's ability to blend color, form, and composition to depict not just a scene, but the essence of a place and its people. The brushwork is dynamic and fluid, creating a sense of spontaneity and impermanence that is characteristic of Pascin's work.

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.
