Oh yeah, he's an interesting one because he's Japanese. Not something you would guess from the style, right?
I'll have to wait til I'm home to call up the details for you.
My parents have a reproduction of this in their bedroom. It's certainly one of the paintings I've looked at the most in my life, perhaps the even THE most looked at. I think it exerted a life-long influence over me.

Very cool.
My grandmother painted her own "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" and we had it on our wall in the house I grew up in. I was scared of it.

Ok...looked it up. This is Tsugouharu Foujita. I think you will find his biography of great interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuguharu_Foujita
He was also a cat lover and painted exquisite watercolours of them:
You can also Google to see more of his work. I can't post the lovely nudes he was known for because philistinism.
