solved with ease.
The present collection reflects
the fact that people were his ma

of one American southwestern
desert scene, a harbor view and
one or two others. all of which
have incidental figures, the present
show is composed of captures OF
people alone or in crowds. The
world Pascin depicted was not an
innocent and happy one. His
crowds on Ninth avenue, New
York; at Paris sidewalk cafe,
in bars, or burlesque shows or
even more questionable haunts,
are tired. cynical, world weary.
But PaScin's world Is just as real
as the world known to more solid
citizens, and he was eminently
the man to interpret it.
