Objects of use in the Pacific were often produced with great intention, some bearing designs and motifs with a religious and spiritual nature. Yet in Jacoulet’s portraits these objects are often absent or become purely ornamental, furthering Jacoulet’s aesthetic ideals of paradisal leisure.
How do you think the aesthetic objects in Jacoulet’s portraits compare to original material objects of the Pacific Islands?
