Description
"The Star of the Gobi, Mongolia" edition 51 of 350 from 1951 depicts a Mongolian subject — a person or perhaps a landscape feature titled with the romantic image of a star over the Gobi Desert. Jacoulet's Mongolian series engaged a Central Asian world very different from the Pacific islands that defined his most celebrated work, and his Mongolian portraits brought the same formal care and chromatic richness to the steppe world that he had applied to Micronesia and Korea.
