35. Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita was born into an aristocratic family in Tokyo in 1886. In his mid-twenties he moved
to Paris, setting up a studio in Montparnasse and finding instant success among the Modernist crowd
of Picasso , Modigliani et al. ‘He was, without question, one of the finest Japanese artists of the 20th century,’
says Aisi Wang, Christie’s specialist in Asian 20th-Century & Contemporary Art.
Today his work appears in museum collections across the world, such as the National Museum of Modern Art in
Kyoto, Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. In 2018, marking the 50th
anniversary of his death, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum staged the biggest retrospective of his work to date.
Foujita’s reputation rests predominantly on work in Western genres such as the female nude and self-portraiture.
However, his lack of interest in perspective and fondness for sinuous, black outlines were derived from traditional
Japanese painting.
The artist’s other famous motif was the cat. He adored felines, which in Japan symbolise good luck. Foujita
depicted them in various ways over the years: alone; together with other cats; with himself in self-portraits; and
with his female models in nudes.
