About the Item

Miçao Kono was a Japanese artist who came to Paris in the early 1920s. He painted in oils and watercolors, and also did a number of etchings. Micao Kono became famous with his nude portraits combining traditional Japanese style with the modernity of the Art Deco. His paintings were very popular in the Art Deco interiors. They were romantic and sensuous; his work is close to his Japanese fellow countryman Foujita. Kono’s technique was unusual as he used to mix egg white with color pigment. Either by design or by the passage of time his paintings show signs of cracking. - Oil on paper pasted on canvas. - Signed and dated 19 (33) in red at bottom left.
