Outskirts 1951

Tsuguharu Foujita's "Outskirts" (1951) depicts a Parisian street scene with a subtle, almost melancholy tone. The artist uses a subdued palette of grays and browns, creating a sense of muted light and a hazy atmosphere. The buildings, rendered in soft, rounded forms, are reminiscent of Foujita's earlier work, where he explored the influence of both Western and Japanese art. The French flag, fluttering in the distance, serves as a visual reminder of the artist's embrace of his adopted country.
