Introduction de l’exposition sur le site du Sompo Museum, à Tokyo :
This exhibition introduces the works of Foujita Tsuguharu (Léonard Foujita, 1886–1968) through seven perspectives (passions). Under the supervision of Ms. Sylvie Buisson, who is known as the foremost researcher of Foujita, his works have been interpreted into seven passions, namely “Lui-même (self-expression)”, “Le Ciel (scenery)”,
“L’Avant-garde (avant-garde)”, “L’Est et l’ouest (east and west)”, “La Femme (women)”, “Les Enfants (children)”, and “Les Anges et le paradis (angels and heaven)”. Furthermore, there is also a secondary exhibition of works by nine Japanese artists with a deep connection to Foujita, such as Togo Seiji, Kawashima Riichiro, and Ebihara Kinosuke, giving further insight into the role played by Foujita in his time. This exhibition contains about 150 works, such as oil paintings, woodblock prints, and materials, gathered from within and outside of Japan including from private collections.
