Angkor, buffle s’abreuvant, vers 1923

Oil on cardboard, signed lower right.
29 x 22 cm

History:
In 1921, Jouve was awarded a scholarship by the General Government of Indochina. As such, he made an eleven-month long trip to the Far East between September 1922 and July 1923, and this experience would have a lasting impact on his work. He joined Angkor in October 1922, where he stayed for three months, where this work was created, directly on the motif. He kept this work in his studio, before leaving it after the exhibition organized at his studio with Jean Després in 1961.
