Jacques Villon (Gaston Duchamp)French, 1875 - 1963
Even toward the end of his career, Villon reused techniques and styles he had practiced many years earlier. This print, which is based on a 1920 painting, shows that he returned to color aquatint, of which he had been a master since the 1890s, and that he also repeated the use of "constructive decomposition," a system that he had introduced in 1920.
