JACQUES VILLON ON THE THRESHOLD OF CUBISM<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cL\u2019aide gracieuse<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, drypoint etching made by Jacques Villon<\/strong> in 1907<\/strong>. Signed in pencil and numbered 30\/30. Plate size: 19.7 x 14.5 cm.<\/p>\n

In this composition Jacques Villon shows two figures in a casual moment of approach: a standing woman helps a second figure to rise. The title, L\u2019aide gracieuse<\/em>, refers to this elegant, courteous gesture, but Villon does not treat the scene in a narrative manner. The emphasis lies above all on line, posture and movement.<\/p>\n

The etching is of interest within Villon\u2019s development and belongs to the period in which he began to loosen his graphic style. The figures are not firmly outlined, but built up from free hatching. The lines also continue into the background, so that figure and space are less sharply separated. The result is an open, sketch-like image in which the scene is not fully fixed, but seems almost to remain in motion.<\/p>\n

Jacques Villon (1875\u20131963), born Gaston Duchamp and the elder brother of Marcel Duchamp<\/a>, would in the years after 1907 develop into one of the important graphic artists within French Cubism<\/a>. L\u2019aide gracieuse<\/em> is therefore particularly interesting as an early transitional print: the scene remains recognisable and elegant, but the loose hatching, softened contours and interweaving of figure and background already point ahead to Villon\u2019s later interest in the construction of form and spatial effect.<\/p>\n
