From an old European private collection - Signs of age, minor wear Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886, Tokyo - 1968, Zurich) was a Japanese-French painter, who in the 1920s rose to fame as an eccentric icon of the Parisian bohemian scene. He developed a unique style by blending traditional Japanese ink techniques with Western oil painting - a fusion particularly evident in his delicate studies of cats and female nudes set against a milky-white background. Following his naturalization in France, he converted to Catholicism, adopted the name Léonard, and - with the Foujita Chapel in Reims, which he designed - left behind his final masterpiece
