Foujita: A Retrospective – Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of his Death

In commemoration of world-famous illustrator Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is hosting a grand retrospective encompassing his entire career. You’ll find a large variety of artworks, cutting across genres including landscapes, portraits and nudes. There’s also a substantial amount of pieces on loan from fellow art museums around the globe that will be on display for the first time in Japan. As a leading artist of the Ecole de Paris, Foujita spent half of his life in France and gained worldwide recognition with his ‘milky-white’ nudes – which, of course, are on display as well during this event.
