Tsutomu Yoshikawa (b.1931)

A Japanese artist who was working in Paris in the 1950s and 60s he leaves almost no trace of his existence in the Western art records of the time. The few works that have appeared at auction over the last decades have all depicted familiar views in Paris, particularly Montmartre. His style is heavily aligned to the School of Paris style that epitomised 1950s French painting. He showed with Galerie Dauphine in Paris in the late 1960s.
