Comments: His Mexican series of horses and riders is
almost the only departure from his favorite theme: women,
painted in rhythmic and delicate manner. Born Julius Pincas,
he later adopted the name under which all his paintings are
known. In 1914 he came to the U.S. to escape military
service in France, and spent the next six years traveling
FL, LA, NC, SC, TX, and the southwestern U.S. and Cuba. In
1920 he became a U.S. citizen, living in Brooklyn. He
returned to Paris permanently, and on the eve of a
prestigious solo show committed suicide by slitting his
wrists and hanging himself.
