"Foujita : peindre dans les Années folles : Musée Maillol", Beaux Arts & Cie, 2018, p.72, No.20
Tsuguharu Foujita's popular motifs include "Cats", "Girls" and "Nude Women." Before he left for Paris in 1913, his 4 landscape paintings exhibited at the Tokyo Kangyo Exhibition in March 1911, 5 works exhibited at the 1st Kofukai Exhibition in 1912, and 2 raisonné paintings. It is known that he painted a total of 11 landscape paintings. From 1913 to 1918, he painted more than 30 works called 'Paris landscapes'. Especially in 1917 and 1918, Foujita concentrated on painting the suburbs of Paris and the streets of Paris, and his landscape paintings already express Foujita 's unique world. Just like the touch of drawing cats and girls, it creates a lovely and fantastic atmosphere. This work "Paysage Porte d'Arcueil Banlieur de Paris" which was created in 1917, consigned by a private collector this time is a landscape painting that Foujita painted when he was 31 years old. He left for France in 1913, and in 1914, just one year after he started living in Paris, World War I broke out. Remittances from Japan stopped that time, and his life became poor. Such a life continued for about two years, and in 1917, when the German army that had invaded French territory turned defensive and the war was coming to an end, he married a French model, Fernande Barrey, whom he met at a cafe for the second time. Around this time, Foujita 's paintings sold for the first time. His first income was only seven Franc, but little by little his paintings began to sell, and three months later he had his first solo exhibition. World War I ended in 1918. Many patrons flocked to Paris in line with the booming economy after the war, and this situation is said to have been a tailwind for Foujita. Shortly after that, Foujita established a unique and transparent painting style using a unique technique that made use of line drawing with menso brushes, and his fame rapidly increased, making him famous in Paris.
