This large-scale retrospective marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Foujita Tsuguharu (1886–1968), a Japanese painter who lived all over the world. Born in the late Meiji Period, Foujita moved to Paris in his late 20s, and enjoyed a brilliant career there for the next two decades. Although he showed many war-record paintings in Japan during World War II, Foujita left the country again in 1949, and returned to Paris the following year. Eventually becoming a French citizen, he spent the rest of his life in Europe. In addition to presenting a selection of the artist's nudes, distinguished by his trademark "milk-white" backgrounds, this exhibition includes works that have never been shown in Japan as well as some that have only rarely been exhibited.
