Description

A print simply titled "Red" from 1934 — the color itself as subject, suggesting a work in which chromatic intensity rather than subject matter is the primary concern. Alternatively, "Red" may be a shortened title for a specific subject — a red-clad figure, a red-lacquered object, or a red-suffused landscape — whose fuller description was not recorded. Jacoulet's color palette was famous for its vivid saturation, and a work defined entirely by its redness would be a characteristic extreme of his chromatic ambition.
