Sold at Auction: Tsugoharu Foujita

Artist Tsuguharu Foujita was born in Japan in 1886, and he did his initial training at the Tokyo University of the Arts. Inspired by a trip to Paris in 1913, he exhibited his fusion style for the first time four years later. His Japanese-style paintings were infused with French oil painting techniques, and made Tsuguharu Foujita artworks truly unique.
