Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita is perhaps best known for his depictions of women, cats, and genre scenes of French peasant children. Born in Japan, Foujita would eventually settle in Paris. A friend of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, Foujita’s works blend Japanese ink and print techniques with Western influences to create a unique and distinctive style. His best-known work is a collection of 20 feline etchings, published in the Book of Cats (1930). His works are housed in the POLA Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, private collections, and more.
