life and work
Pascin was born in 1885 as the eighth of eleven children in Widin, Bulgaria. His father, a Sephardic Jew, was the wealthy grain merchant Marcus Pincas, and his mother, Sofie Russo, who was born in Trieste , also came from an old Sephardic family. Ladino was spoken within the family . From 1892 the family lived in Bucharest , where Pascin began at the age of 15 under the protection of the operator to regularly make nude drawings in a brothel .
After studying in Vienna , Pascin spent the period from 1902 to 1905 in Budapest , Vienna, Munich and Berlin , where he studied at various academies. In Munich he drew for the Simplicissimus . He learned u. a. Albert Weisgerber and his circle of friends around the painters Hans Purrmann , Paul Klee , Wassily Kandinsky , Willi Geiger , Hermann Haller , Max Slevogt and Gino von Finetti , with whom he had a lifelong friendship. He was a member of the Berlin Secession . Weisgerber made a portrait of Pascin in 1905. In the same year Pascin settled in Paris for a few years before moving to Brussels and London and living in the United States from 1915 to 1920 .
After that, Paris remained his main place of residence, from which, however, he repeatedly set out on longer trips. In his last years he suffered increasingly from depression . Ehrenburg describes Pascin as a torn person between shy and daring. He draws parallels to Modigliani and Jessenin . Hemingway described his encounter with Pascin with the words:
“The hat on the back of his head, he grinned at me. He was more like one of the Broadway characters from the nineties than the wonderful painter he was, and later, after he hung himself, I fondly remembered how he had been at the Dôme that night. "
Pascin's dominant motif were erotic female nudes. His works grew darker as his mental illness worsened. From 1916 onwards, the influence of Cubism became clear in his work , but this weakened again in his later work. He committed in 1930 at the age of 45 years in his Paris apartment suicide and was on the Cimetiere du Montparnasse buried. In 1964 his work was honored at the documenta III in Kassel . The French comic author Joann Sfar dealt with the life and work of Jules Pascin in the comic series Pascin from 2001 to 2005 . In 2006 a complete edition of the first six volumes was published in German.
