I really can't get enough of Foujita. Probably partially due to how rare it is to see his work, I have never seen one in person and the books are very rare and expensive. There is just one in the library that I keep on renewing and pray no one else ever requests. I absolutely feel this work. His interests are unapologetic and require no artist statement -- looking intensely, self-portraiture, cats, line, composition. Its so steadfast you think well what else could there be...nothing. You are in his universe so you can't question it. This is a painter.
