Description
Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita’s Chat (Abihail) (1929) is a refined black-and-white facsimile print produced after one of the artist’s celebrated ink drawings. Printed in the United States by The Stanford Press Inc., New York, the work captures Foujita’s exquisite draftsmanship and his lifelong fascination with cats — a recurring and deeply personal motif throughout his oeuvre.
Executed with delicate precision, Chat (Abihail) demonstrates the artist’s mastery of line and tone, merging Eastern calligraphic elegance with Western sensibility. The image exudes both intimacy and restraint, qualities that define Foujita’s singular place in early 20th-century modernism.
Signed and dated in the plate, the print exemplifies Foujita’s capacity to infuse everyday subjects with quiet grace and emotional nuance. A work of timeless charm, it remains a testament to his technical virtuosity and poetic vision.
