Jutaro Kuroda

Jutaro Kuroda (黒田 重太郎 Kuroda Jūtarō, 1887–1970) was a Japanese artist.[1] After studying art with the two Japanese masters of Yōga art at his time, namely Kanokogi Takeshiro and then Asai Chū,[2] Kuroda went to Europe from 1914 to 1918 and intensified his Western-style painting practice, adopting a style most closely following the style of French painter Camille Pissarro.[3] It was on his second journey that he became a pupil of the French Cubist artist André Lhote. Upon his return to Japan, Kuroda introduced Cubism to his homeland and became a central figure in the art circles in Kyoto from the late Meiji to the Showa era as a particularly accomplished water-colourist and oil painter.
