On March 31, 1885, Julius Mordecai Pinkas, later known to the world as Jules Pascin, was born in Vidin. He is among the most recognizable artists of his time, leaving a significant mark on European and American art. His works, marked by elegance, sensuality and subtle psychologism, make him an emblematic figure, crossing different artistic directions. Pascin left Bulgaria and settled in Paris, where he became immersed in the artistic life of Montparnasse. Over time, he developed a unique style, combining elements of Impressionism and Expressionism.
