Yasushi Tanaka represents what he prefers: the female nude indoors. His palette is made up of colored harmonies, which he declines with delicacy. The skin of his model is adorned with subtle nuances, from purple to pink and passing through blue. The model presents her bust from the front and turns her face away, as is often the case in her nude paintings. The interior is adorned with colorful, luxurious fabrics.
\nYasushi Tanaka born in Japan in 1886. In 1904, he moved to New York and trained at Broadway High School. Appreciated and recognized, he exhibited at the Washington Museum in 1912.
\nIn 1915, he presented his work at the “Panama Pacific International” exhibition. Two years later, he married Louise Gebhard Cann, American historian and art critic. He met Hemingway, Pound and Joyce, friends of his wife.
\nIn 1920, he moved to rue Notre-dame-des-champs in Paris. He exhibited at the Salon des Beaux-Arts, the Salon d’Automne, the Salon des Ind\u00e9pendants and the Salon des Tuileries.
\nIn 1924, La galerie Marsan gave him a solo show. The Parisian galleries Bernheim-Jeune, Devambez, Carmine and Druet also exhibit his work.
\nYasushi Tanaka prefers French techniques to traditional Japanese practices. However, he remains aloof from French artistic movements.<\/p>\n

Tanaka talks about his marriage to Louise Gebhard Cann, his fight against Western ideals in Seattle art circles, his concern for his mother and brothers in Tokyo, his emigration to Paris and his condition after the First World War , and the success of his personal exhibition at the Galerie de Marsan in 1924 (“I finally managed to be renowned as one of the most skilful contemporary painters here in Paris”.
