L'Homme Accroupi. Chinois
Description
"L'Homme Accroupi, Chinois" (The Crouching Chinese Man) from 1947 depicts a Chinese man in a characteristic squatting posture — a resting position common across Asia but particularly associated with working men in the street life of Chinese cities. Jacoulet's attention to posture as a key of cultural observation gives this portrait its ethnographic specificity without reducing the subject to a type: the crouching man is an individual at rest, not a representative pose.
