Frame: 23.25 inches x 18.5 inches
More about the artist:
Paul Jacoulet was born in 1902 in Paris. He relocated to Tokyo during his youth when his father accepted a teaching position with the Japanese government. Immersed in both Japanese and French cultures, Paul mastered fluency in Japanese, French, and English.
Jacoulet developed a profound interest in the arts from an early age. In 1934, he ventured into producing his initial woodblock print. Unlike contemporary moku hanga or sosaku hanga artists, Jacoulet did not personally undertake carving or printing. Instead, he employed highly skilled craftsmen for these tasks, creating drawings and watercolors that were skillfully transformed into woodblock prints by expert carvers and printers. These artisans had undergone extensive vocational training, honing their expertise over many years.
His approach aligned seamlessly with the traditional essence of ukiyo-e. The shin hanga movement, led by Tokyo print publisher Watanabe, adhered to a similar philosophy and artistic style, paralleled by another artist and publisher group in Kyoto.
