FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

Julies Mordecai Pincas called himself Pascin—an anagram of his surname. Born in Bulgaria, Pascin lived in Paris between 1905 and 1914, where he was a member of the group of avant-garde writers and artists who congregated in bohemian Montparnasse—a group that included Ernest Hemingway and Amedeo Modigliani. Pascin is known for his drawings and paintings of women, often fully or partially nude, most of whom were part of his Montparnasse circle.
