Paul Jacoulet

2011-09-04T10:38:00.005-04:00

Paul Jacoulet (1902–1960) was a French, Japan-based woodblock print artist known for a style that mixed the traditional ukiyo-e style and techniques developed by the artist himself.
[edit]Biography

Jacoulet was born in Paris in 1902 and lived in Japan for most of his life. During World War II, he moved to Karuizawa, where he survived in the countryside by growing vegetables and raising poultry. During the occupation, at the request of General Douglas MacArthur, he was recruited by Commandant Charles McDowell to work at the Tokyo Army College. MacArthur would join Greta Garbo, Pope Pius XII and Queen Elizabeth II, as a prominent collector of Jacoulet's work.
Jacoulet prints are rare and often sell in the $5,000 to $20,000 range. The Parisian Lady, a print from 1934, sold for $25,000 at auction.[1]
Paul Jacoulet's (1902–1960) creative period was 1939-1960. Jacoulet is considered one of the few western artists to have mastered the art of woodblock printing sufficiently to be recognized in Japan. His works are almost all of people, either portraits or full body images capturing some background details. He has had a number of exhibits in the years since his death including two at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena (1983 and 1990), the Yokohama Art Museum (1996 and 2003), the Riccar Museum in Tokyo (1982), and the Isla Center for the Arts on Guam (1992 and 2006). He also achieved some recognition in his lifetime including an exhibit sponsored by the US Fifth Air Force (in 1946 according to Time Magazine). Two complete catalogues of his woodblock prints exist (one in English and one in Japanese with some English) as well as exhibition books and posters from all his exhibits. The earliest book about him was written during his lifetime (Wells, 1957) and includes the original desperation prices for which he sold his work at that time. Many prints are very rare because all Jacoulet’s pre-World War II work that had not already been taken out of the country by collectors was destroyed by fire. Jacoulet was a true renaissance man –French but born and raised in Japan, expert in Kabuki, proficient on traditional Japanese musical instruments, a good calligrapher, conversant in several languages, and a recognized butterfly collector. Growing up in Tokyo he was the next door neighbor of Ukiyoe authority Yone Noguchi; he was taught English by Noguchi's American wife, Leonie Gilmour, and befriended their son, the young Isamu Noguchi. Jacoulet’s father was an ambassador so Paul was widely traveled and was doted upon by his mother. She supported his artistic endeavors all her life. She believed that if French Polynesia was good for Paul Gauguin, then Jacoulet must go there too. She sent him away many winters from Japan to various islands in Micronesia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Although his most valued works are from this part of the world, he also has a substantial number of prints with subjects from China, Korea, all areas of Japan, and Mongolia. Just one print depicts an American.
Jacoulet's works are also interesting to anthropologists. First because his subject matter was indigenous people in their traditional dress. In 1939 traditional people were the norm in his travels. Today his work is often used as a basis for reconstructing, for example, what Ainu traditional dress looked like by the Ainu themselves in their quest to reconnect with their cultural roots. Second, some of the subjects who posed for Jacoulet are still alive and they are currently being interviewed by a professor in Guam (Donald Rubinstein) to learn more about his artistic process.
Jacoulet was a shameless self-promoter and he sent prints to famous people to enhance his reputation. Mrs. Douglas MaArthur received an annual Christmas gift and his work hung in the General’s headquarters in Tokyo and later at the Waldorf-Astoria. Jacoulet was a flamboyant gay man at a very early date to be out, and his sexual orientation and gender fluidity are clearly reflected in his work. Near the end of his life Jacoulet was barred from entering the US due to his “undesirability” as a gay person. Undeterred, he dressed up in a white suit with a silver headed cane and walked into the US at Niagara Falls.

Stephen Jones, is inviting designers to submit a photograph or illustration of their originally designed hat for the chance to be a part of Hats: An Anthology, an exhibition hosted by the Bard Graduate Center in New York City. The exhibit is a collaboration between Stephen Jones and the V&A and has previously attracted over 350,000 visitors in London and Brisbane. The selected hat will be displayed in the Bard Graduate Center Gallery as part of the exhibition. Stephen Jones is looking for originality and creativity and encourages participants to use any kind of material - from paper to metal, fabric to feathers, card to plastic*.

Thanks to Stephen Jones,Talenthouse,Vogue UK for this "concours de circonstance" to participate this event .

I start the project 3 weeks ago with no inspiration to be very honest....
I run and watch lot of film Noir, 60 Avant Garde,Tati ,Meville,Demi,Becker, and Terence Malik movies.
Finally after 2 weeks ....
I start a long process of work in progress...

Kiku is a japanese chrysanthemum . Flowers inspire me to create this sculptural art form in millinery project .
The dimensions of the hat are technically relate to his elaboration.
- 22 meters of a vintage Milan straw braid "hand made in Italy" sew with the Bulasky zigzag machine
on 22 meters of french wire.
- 260 grams defies the gravity on a asymmetrical movement at the longest diametre of 1,32 meters.
- 36 hours of hand stitching.
The braid is continuously drawing the petals in multidimensional perspective .
The free art form illustrate my vision of impressionism in a contemporary space ; as a sculpture , a lamp design and a hat .
This project is unique and made for " Design for Stephen Jones " by Philippe Urban as milliner.

This Braid is from Isler from Switzerland . Already vintage when i find it 1990 at Kates Millinery from the sample archives probably from the mid sixties at least.
2 inch wide, in wheat .
The weaving is in diagonal like the hat body ,on one side guided and baste with a double coton thread like on horsehair braid too.
Theses braids have been made and design for hand made sewing on shapes and buckram…
They too wide too be sewn on the machine….on my own expertise i ‘ve tried it all ready…
I ‘ll use for trimming …and like horsehair the flexibilities of the weave is great.

Mini PT

2011-04-30T23:32:00.001-04:00

Mini PT is named after a full size crown made for Philip Treacy for 2011 winter collection for both men and women

as example of men style for women and vice versa a comptemporary definition of the feminisation of masculinity

as no frontier when is a design .

But for me this design was already drawn and executed in the early 90's in a block for Yojhi YAMAMOTO

an oversized man hat with an front pointed very accentuated .

Which Kates millinery bought a more controlled version to make a fur hat for men .

A block in 5 sections with a double brim . i actually made me a hat in furfelt .

This hat is a rebirth of the original design from Lorenzo .

That why made it on the head size of a new born 18 " to 20"

I want to accentuate at the maximun the angle of the pitch in the front and the pointedness

i made myself the conterpart for the tip of the crown.

the brim is a miniature of a top hat or derby ,for a hand roll finish.

I'm on really this crown since i block and free block different styles in felt ...and in straw.

2011-03-27T00:10:00.004-04:00

the CHIP in 18th and 19th century chip bonnets and hats was actually made from thin strips of shaved wood. It was used by hat-makers in a similar way to braided straw, and so was sometimes called “chip straw” or “chip braid”. But it was still wood.

It could be plaited or woven just like straw. Once formed into a sort of basket in whatever shape was currently fashionable, it could be bleached or coloured, then trimmed with as much silk, lace, velvet, feather etc. as the milliner and her customer desired.

Silk bonnets sometimes had chip and wire sewn into the seams, creating a framework to give them shape.

Hat-makers and milliners used chip well into the 1900s. Like straw, hemp and other natural fibres, it was particularly well suited to sun hats and spring bonnets.

This explanation of how it was made is from the 1920s.

Chip braid is the only wood braid in general use…White pine and Lombardy poplar, and also the English willow…are used to make white chip hats…The young tree is split into sections and planed smooth…Another special plane of knife blades is then drawn lengthwise down the boards, scoring long, fine narrow cuts…A smooth plane takes these fine strips off, and a thin chip straw results. (Charlotte Rankin Aiken, Millinery, 1922)from the same source @ vintageSewing.info
Japaneses to use to make their metallic silver and gold on chip wood and cherry tree too.
for the embroideries of kimonos as uchikake

Canton was a chinese braid ...

Millinery machines inventory and maintenance

2011-03-25T16:59:00.007-04:00

As i m considering to make hats and millinery i actually have to go and evaluate what i left in box for more than 15 yrs .
Machines are the tools of a milliner
The needle is the tool of the modiste.
I actually restore two machines than i never use really ...
when i bought my lot deal in 1988 ,from a furrier who was doing fur hats and leather hats too.
he never used the straw machines too.
I broke one of them in Cape town in 1997 , in the frame part of the under tooth piece.
So just rebuilt one full from this one and the parts i got.
In millinery the materials are all differents from straws to felt ,ribbons and trimmings....is not only a tension adjustement,feets and tooths have to be change in order to make the work propelly and not damage some very delicate materials as straw braid as example...
I 'm setting the Willcox for straw and ribbons...

L. Bulasky

2011-03-23T18:41:00.004-04:00

Louis Bulasky's first patent was in 1892 for a hat trimming machine with several more relating to hat manufacturing. The last company patent was from August John Wolhpart, who took out a patent for the company in 1931. In the 1950s and 1979, Union Special and Singer cite his patents in their own inventions.
So basically, if anyone says that Singer had the first zigzagger. They are wrong. Though Singer may have had the first home zigzag machine with the 206.

The machine was set to sew wire on hats ...
for the edge trimming of the brims and more...
Binding ,turn over bindind,with piping ,double piping.

At a certain point some of theses machines have been seen set and fit to sew straw braids with the zig zag point ....

The 3 first machines who rises the evolution of the production for a century
Willcox and Gibbs the straw and plain head
L Bulaski invent the shift of the zig zag on the model of the Willcox .
James Edward Allen Gibbs On June 2, 1857, he was awarded a patent for the first chain-stitch single-thread sewing machine. In partnership with James Willcox, Gibbs became a principal in Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Company. Willcox & Gibbs commercial sewing machines are still made and used in the 21st century.

Those machines are chain stitch ...made in steel
Singer come later with cap machine as they named ,chain stich too like a miniature of the original singer.All the model 24-2 -26 -33 -36 were used for millinery ,caps,ties.

I own my 8 millinery machines since 1988 with parts and attachements …

3 willcox & Gibbs straw machines

3 Bulaski (2 straight,1 zig zag)

2 Singer model 24 -33

As milliner i learn on blocks and machines ....how to make hats at a large scale production but always in a certain standard of quality ...

Straw Braids

2011-03-23T11:37:00.003-04:00

Sewing straw braid is a real skill in millinery ...
There is no doubt than the pratice is the key element to this knowledge ...
Ignatus is one of them as an artist and milliner .
Cristina de Prada come along with a machine very rare in the Industry .
Carles is a milliner who sew straw very well.

The 2nd hat of the 3 "a new crown on my block"
Monograms ,"abcedaire" and calligraphy is another application of this "art appliqué"
In a future, Handwriting will disappear and will remain artistically by drawing a gesture more than utility ....
AS I draw better than i write ....handfully for me i will never lost this skill...

D G is the 2 letters of this monogram on this hat
The cutting process as intergrate in the wiring in the decorative aspect.

In my concept of recycling ,I use the material as source decorative without adding more external source of consumerism …..it ‘s the principal inspiration in Art Nouveau…which as organically and naturally inspire me .

Again the line is the continuation of my work in my millinery life…

The point is like a root you pulled from life to death
Just like a trimming ,a garniture ,a feather….

Lines moves , points stops.

Cutting trimming for Glasswings Greta

Moebius strips

2011-01-30T16:46:00.006-05:00

My application of this principle is total
the strip felt is recycled from the off cut of the brim ....which i always insist to cut as a ring if the width is wide enough to have a stich operation on it.
So it is aleast 1/2 inch or 13mm...on this case i ve sewn 2 overlock stich and a zig gag stitch for the wire...
I have achieved smaller gauge seams on a MerroW as seam on seam as 1/4 inch or 7mm

This application is part of the hat as a finition to trim the wire....only

The abstract perception as a hat as briefly illustrate is infinite as his movement.

Fur knife

2011-01-28T19:43:00.002-05:00

This fur knife is precise and sharper than a scalpel ...
and precily cutting is one particular skill in millinery like in Haute couture ...

New Crown in my block...

2011-01-21T18:16:00.007-05:00

From my last visit to la Forme i brought back a new block brim and crown...
Lorenzo craft me a bigger miniature than the Mini hats done for Mr Jones as top hat and men crown....
We end up doing this volume than the head size is fitting a 1 yrs old child.
A men crown in 19'hs with rollover,turnover brim of 1 1/2 inch width ...
I did tried it last year and block some panamas but i keep them for my online project ....and they will be available on stock ,made to measure and trimmed in mid February for orders in PU Hats shop at philippeurban dot com.
I'm recycling few of my own archives in this block ...is a unique volume.
I would like a N°5 hood less than 70 grms in ff to block it in one piece ...and even like that 19 " inch head size...to hoods in 30 "width...

That's involving double blocking ...

...Let me tell you WHY...

19 years ago in 1990...

2009-04-15T19:47:00.017-04:00

1990-1991 were very creative...for me
Kates Millinery was a dream for young milliner.
A two floors millinery of 50,000 ft/sq downtown Montreal....
with a payroll of 50 workers full time until 1992 when they close...
The manufacture with a stock room of archives from the Sixties. Flowers,ribbons,trimmings,bodies,fabrics,veiling,feathers,braids.
They had more than 1000 woodblocks and 100 Aluminium stomper dyies....
who where blocked 600 hats per day...
On "wood" a hand blocker had to make at least
7 to 8 dozen a day ....
When i start to learn handblocking 6 months after i got a Bursting of a dorsal synovial cyst of the wist.....and had to get a surgery.

One day when we were in New York with Irving Kates ...he told me ...it's too bad but you should have been born 15 yrs before and you would have been a renowned milliner...and he says to me however you talented and you can get the best block ...if they don't wear hats anymore...its no worth it.
We'll never get back on their head even if they were bold...they would wear a wig....1990 I was 25 years old...

Between 1988 and 1991 at Kates Millinery as house designer and with my own collection for Kates...I design around 2500 hats and hand made around 400 Hats...
We probably less than 2 pairs of handfull real milliner's who can applies art of millinery from blocking hats from straw to fur hats and to sewn straw braid....
Handskilled since 20 years...

Mange des tomates , mon amour.

2009-04-05T21:32:00.011-04:00

Mange des tomates, mon amour par Jack Ary
Paroles et Musique: Frank Barcellini, Pierre Cour 1958

Toc toc toc toc toc
- Entrez !
- Un conseil, Madame ; un conseil, Monsieur
Mangez sain, mangez frais, mangez ... des tomates !

Mange des tomates, mon amour
Mange des tomates, nuit et jour
Ça donne bonne mine
C'est plein de vitamines
Vitamines A, B, C
C'est bon pour la santé

Les acrobates, les pêcheurs,
Les diplomates, les boxeurs
Délaissent les patates
Pour ce fruit écarlate
La tomate en salade
Ou tomate farcie

À l'opéra, en chantant la Tosca
Un grand ténor ayant manqué le "la"
En reçut ce soir-là
Des tas, des tas, des tas
Sa femme, en sortant de là, le consola

Le président dînant à l'Élysée
En compagnie du roi du Zimbabwe
Lui offrit en entrée
Ce beau fruit bien français
Et son invité en fut tout étonné

Le diable, un jour,
Parlant à la radio
Fit un discours
Commençant par ces mots
"Supprimons la bombe A
Supprimons-la la la
Et remplaçons-la par ce fruit délicat"

Mange des tomates, mon amour
Mange des tomates, nuit et jour
À l'atome qui éclate
Préférons les tomates
Les tomates, ça fait mal quand ça tombe sur le nez
Oui mais quand on les mange
C'est bon pour la santé

Mange des tomates, mon amour
Mange des tomates, mon amour
