Artists in conversation

Egon Schiele
Austrian · b. 1890

Schiele shares Pascin's expressive figurative draughtsmanship and loose sketchy line work combined with restrained, muted tonal washes that allow the white of the paper to breathe. Both artists created intimately observed figure studies with a raw psychological immediacy and economy of mark.

George Grosz
German · b. 1893

Grosz produced narrative watercolor and ink figure compositions during his American period that share Pascin's blend of expressive line with transparent color washes and a keen observational eye for everyday scenes and characters. His atmospheric American period works particularly echo Pascin's humid, loosely rendered figurative style.

John Marin
American · b. 1870

Marin was a master of watercolor transparency and evocative atmospheric suggestion, using fluid washes and gestural marks to capture the mood and humidity of specific American environments. His expressive yet controlled use of the watercolor medium to evoke place and atmosphere aligns closely with Pascin's approach in this Florida scene.
