Hans Hartung
German French · b. 1904
Hartung worked extensively with felt tip and ink on paper during the same post war period, creating minimalist gestural line drawings that emphasize mark making and compositional restraint similar to Foujita's approach in this piece.
Kiyoshi Hasegawa
Japanese · b. 1891
Hasegawa was a Japanese artist who settled in France and created meticulous figurative works on paper that blend Eastern delicacy with Western modernist sensibility, closely paralleling Foujita's Franco Japanese aesthetic and refined line based technique.
