Foujita had a great fondness for cats and often included them in his paintings. In fact, he is sometimes referred to as the Cat Painter and is credited with popularizing the idea of the ‘artist and cat’ archetype. There has been only one edition of this print: 160 impressions signed and numbered for the Société de la Gravure sur Bois Originale Imagier de la Gravu in 1927. SIZE of the sheet 32.5 x 25.2 cm Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear. Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968) was a celebrated Japanese-French painter known for his unique blend of traditional Japanese art and Western modernism. His works featured bold outlines, flat colors, and strong design, often depicting portraits of women, cats, and scenes from everyday life. Foujita was an active member of the School of Paris, a group of international artists who converged in Paris in the early 20th century. His close friendships with prominent artists, including Modigliani and Picasso, contributed to the development of modern art movements in France and beyond.
