Foujita, Tsuguharu

Artiste franco-japonais, figure éminente de l'École de Paris, connu pour son mélange de technique japonaise et de modernisme occidental.

Courte biographie

Tsuguharu Foujita (plus tard Léonard Foujita, 1886-1968) était un artiste franco-japonais. Arrivé à Paris en 1913, il devint une star célèbre et excentrique de l'École de Paris pendant les 'Années Folles'. Ami de Picasso, Modigliani et Soutine, son style est une synthèse unique de techniques traditionnelles japonaises à l'encre (sumi-e) sur un fond laiteux ('fond blanc d'ivoire') et de modernisme occidental. Il est surtout connu pour ses nus, chats et portraits délicats et linéaires.

Lien avec le monde du livre

Foujita était un maître graveur, notamment en eau-forte et pointe sèche. Sa technique était extrêmement raffinée et linéaire. Il a illustré des 'livres d'artiste' pour des auteurs tels que Paul Morand et Pierre Loti. Un exemple important est le portfolio 'Kistmappers' contenant des eaux-fortes de nus et de chats, qui démontrent parfaitement son style unique.
