“Portrait De Suzy Solidor,” created by Tsuguharu Foujita in 1927, belongs to the art movements of Expressionism and Japonism and falls within the genre of portraiture. The artwork captures the essence of Suzy Solidor, a prominent figure in the artistic circles of the early 20th century.
The artwork is a striking portrait characterized by Foujita’s unique style, which merges European Expressionism with elements of traditional Japanese art. It features a woman, presumably Suzy Solidor, seated gracefully with a poised demeanor. She is attired in a sophisticated black dress with a red bow at the neck, and a wide-brimmed hat that frames her delicate features. A notable addition to the composition is the dog reclining beside her, enhancing the intimate and genteel ambiance of the setting. The background, rendered in subtle, muted tones, allows the central figures to command attention. The artist’s adept use of line and form creates a sense of elegance and refinement, making this portrait a remarkable representation of both the subject’s persona and Foujita’s artistic vision.
