AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Japanese Print of a portrait of a man of a certain age, with a face of refined features and a beard and mustache in the manner of a sage. He wears a hat with transparent veiling and holds in one hand an uchiwa (paper fan) featuring the central motif of the Korean flag, a red and blue teageuk representing the balance of the universe. He is accompanied by a splendid deer with a very gentle gaze. "Moppo" is a transliteration used during Paul Jacoulet's travels corresponding to the port city of Mokpo (목포 in Korean), located in the southwest of Korea, at the mouth of the Yeongsan River. The Deer is a symbol of wealth and longevity in Asia and is often used as a mount for gods of longevity in Asian mythologies.
Paul Jacoulet (1896-1960) is a French artist, born and who lived his entire life in Japan. He is a singular artist, open to the world, who synthesized Western and Eastern universes. His work, a flamboyant series of portraits of men and women from the Far East and the Pacific islands where he traveled, has been the subject of numerous exhibitions. It reveals a sharp sensitivity and a bold sensuality crowned by perfect mastery of traditional Japanese print technique.
