Paul Jouve - Bearcubs Kipling - Drawing XXth
Paul JOUVE (Marlotte 1878 - Paris 1973)
Two BEARCUBS : Illustration project for The hunt of Kaa
Black pencil on paper heightened with oil
32.5 x 24.5 cm
Signed and dated ‘1927’ lower right
Framed - presented without glass but can be added on request
The authenticity of the work has been confirmed by the artist's successor.
Preparatory for plate 9 of Baloo's maxims (see photo)
The work engraved after our original also appears in Paul Jouve - Les Artistes du Livre (1931), Camille Mauclair, Henri Babou éditeur, N°22.
A virtuoso work by the master draughtsman of the Art Deco period - and an absolute lover of Kipling's writings - in preparation for one of the plates of a fairly confidential short story, The hunt of Kaa, set in the world of The Jungle Book. Here we see Jouve drawing more aggressively, less mechanically than usual, and above all having fun exploding the love between the brother and sister cubs. The closed eye crystallises all this brotherly tenderness.
