Traveling was a major source of inspiration for Jules Pascin (1885-1930), a painter who was of Italian-Serbian and Spanish heritage and born in Bulgaria. Educated in Vienna and then in Munich, he later moved to France, where in the 1920s he became a significant figure of the Modern School of Paris. This exhibition is divided into five sections related to the places Pascin lived in — from Munich to Paris, Montparnasse and Montmartre, then his journey to America and back to France after World War I.
Pascin became known for his unusual style using delicate yet vague outlines that often blended into the background to create pale tones, such as those featured in his masterpiece "Young Dancing Girl"; Jan. 17-March 29.
