L’histoire d’amour de Foujita et de la France débute très tôt à Tokyo devant une toile de Claude Monet. Il est encore enfant lorsqu’il est fascinée par l’église qui est placée sur son chemin d’écolier. À l’École de l’Étoile du matin, il étudie le français avec les frères marianistes. Une sculpture monumentale de la Vierge Marie trône dans la cour. On a compris que son éveil mystique date de sa jeunesse en pays shinto et bouddhiste et qu’à Paris, l’artiste adulte rejoint immédiatement la puissante architecture de Notre-Dame pour la peindre en majesté. Une symphonie de noir et de blanc orientale, et de rouge car il n’oublie jamais la couleur du Soleil levant.
Foujita’s love for France goes back to his early years in Tokyo whilst standing in front of a painting by Claude Monet. He was still a child when the church he saw on his way to school fascinated him. At the École de l’Étoile du matin, he studied French with the Marianist brothers. A monumental sculpture of the Virgin Mary overlooked the playground of that school. Unsurprisingly, Foujita’s mystical awakening started in his childhood, in a Shinto and Buddhist country, so naturally, when the artist, now grown-up, arrived in Paris he was very quickly struck by Notre-Dame’s powerful architecture. He therefore painted it in all its majesty, producing an Oriental symphony of black and white, with a hint of red, as he never forgets the color of the rising Sun.
