Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best as we head into 2021.

We are sincerely grateful for your support in the Corona crisis last year. We hope the pandemic ends as soon as possible and wish you health.

The first public display: LEONARD TSUGUHARU FOUJITA “Nu sur un lit, avec un chien (Reclining Nude with A Small Dog)”

In 1921, Tsuguharu Foujita submitted a portrait of milky-white female nude to Salon d'automne for the first time which made him the favorite of cole de Paris. As a widely accepted theory, the artwork is said to be "Reclining Nude with a Cat" at Petit Palais in Geneve. The work we display this time was painted in the same year depicting the same model, which was sleeping under a European collector for a long time.
We hope the beginning of the new year offers you the opportunity to experience the excitement of Parisians fascinated by "milky-white skin" and "Eastern beauty" that Foujita gained after years of effort. We sincerely wait for your visits.
