Then I discover the house, brimming with authenticity in the rooms decorated in Foujita’s own unique style or according to his tastes. The moment I set foot in his studio, on the top floor of the house, I’m amazed by its atmosphere. It’s as if the artist were still here. I finish the tour with a stroll in the garden. This is the moment when I understand why he fell in love with this house.
The exhibition tour reveals that Foujita was an artist of many talents: painter, engraver, illustrator, ceramicist and photographer. Moreover, I notice from his work that Foujita fosters both French and Japanese cultures.
