Exhibition Label: "Inspired by Japan," Mar-2003, Cori Sherman Jacoulet was a perfectionist in his printmaking. He had special paper handmade with his monogram “PJ” watermarked in the sheets and he used vegetable pigments rather than modern synthetic dyes. He employed master carvers and printers to interpret his watercolors and drawings, overseeing every step of the time-consuming process. Details in the special effects added, such as mica for subtle sparkle, embossing for texture, ground minerals and metals for unique shine and color, as well as experimental waxes and lacquers added ornament to already perfect compositions. Jacoulet also insisted on touches of realism in his largely two-dimensional depictions, including bruises on fruit and signs of insect infestation in foliage. His efforts were repaid when in 1946 Time magazine reported an exhibition of Jacoulet’s work at the Fifth Air Force and Armed Forces Education Center as the “hit of the Tokyo art season.”
