Description
"Jeune Fille de Polowat, Est Carolines" (Young Girl of Polowat, Eastern Carolines) from 1948 depicts a young woman from the Polowat atoll in the Caroline Islands — a remote island community in Micronesia known for its extraordinary traditional navigation skills and its relative cultural isolation. Jacoulet's portrait of this young woman carries his characteristic respect for his subjects' dignity and the rich specificity of Pacific island culture. The 1948 print reflects his continued engagement with Micronesian subjects after the disruption of the Pacific War.
