 Jeune Fille Vue de Dos. A Study of Suzanne Duchamp. by Jacques Villon, 1875-1964
Jacques Villon was in many ways the most significant of all the artists who worked in Paris in a Belle Époque style in the first years of the century.
The contrasts between the defined deep-bitten outline strokes of the drypoint and the varied tones - in the dark tresses of her hair, in the modelling of her face and the suggested textures of her clothes - display his extreme delicacy of touch and his awareness of how to use tone to full visual effect.
Villon was particularly fond of aquatint as a medium at this date and in writing about this print in particular he acknowledged that for it he owed a great debt to Louis Legrand whose work he much admired (see no 20 in this catalogue).

Whereas in Villon's background, his strokes are shorter and seem to have more of a planned location (just as Seurat applies his paint).

Born Gaston Duchamp, Jacques Villon changed his name in 1895, when he resolved to become an artist.
Villon's turn to this movement marked a decisive shift in his work, which had consisted of posters lithographed in color, as well as etchings and aquatints depicting Parisian life at the turn of the century- all demonstrating affinities with the startling, fashionable images of his friend Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
