Angels and sirens 1918

"Angels and Sirens" is a painting by Tsuguharu Foujita, a Japanese painter who spent much of his career in France. The 1918 painting is full of rich symbolism, depicting a group of female figures in a fantastical setting. The women, with their wings and flowing hair, appear ethereal and otherworldly. Foujita's work is often recognized for its whimsical and elegant style. The gold background suggests a heavenly realm, while the water below symbolizes the earthly realm. The juxtaposition of these elements emphasizes the tension between the spiritual and the physical, highlighting the timeless themes of desire, beauty, and mortality.
