Beschreibung:
This is the third of Jacoulet's unique "floating figures", an innovation that influenced some of the Sosaku Hanga artists who translated the concept into a pure abstraction that differed from similar European experiments like Miro's. The first state has a more golden mica background than the second, which substitutes an extremely cold silvery mica. The psychological vulnerability of the young Marshall Islands servant girl who posed for the original drawing is shown by her left breast bare under the knot of her Spanish shawl, and the tense position of her right hand as it clutches her toes. Despite its apparent simplicity this is one of Jaoulet's greatest pre-war images. Numbered in Japanese in back of print. Excerpt from Miles, Richard - "The Prints of Paul Jacoulet" p.102
