FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

Jules Pascin is one of the underappreciated masters of 20th-century painting. Because his works are not readily classified under the rubric of a defined group—expressionism, cubism, fauvism—he has not received sustained critical attention. Pascin worked primarily in France, but also spent time in Cuba sketching the daily life of the people he encountered. This painting is based on some of those sketches.
