FOUJITA, Léonard Tsuguharu (1886-1968) – JOSEPH, Michael (1897-1958). A Book of Cats being Twenty Drawings by Foujita. New York: Covici Friede, 1930.
Foujita’s most beloved work, “certainly one of the rarest and most desired books on cats in existence” (Kalda). No. 23 of 500 copies, signed by the artist. Born and educated in Tokyo, Foujita emigrated to Paris where he became a leading member of the French avant-garde; a friend of Picasso and Modigliani, he counted Kiki de Montparnasse among his models. The languid etchings of felines in this work, accompanied by the prose-poetry of Michael Joseph, exemplify the signature hybrid Japanese-European style which earned him great acclaim. Sam Kalda, Of Cats and Men, p. 43.
Folio (325 x 250mm). 20 etchings (without the additional suite of etchings; occasional marginal soiling). Original cloth, front cover and spine lettered in silver (spine sunned, light soiling).
