Micao Kono was a Japanese artist, born in 1876, who gained recognition for his unique blend of Japanese watercolor and Western Art Deco styles. Born in 1876, Kono moved to Paris in the 1920s, where he developed his distinctive artistic approach.
l'Amour Saphique was painted in 1931 during Micao Kono's halcyon days in Paris, France.
Known for his figurative paintings, often featuring nude subjects, Kono's work is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and a sense of theatricality. His paintings were popular during the Art Deco era and are still admired for their beauty and technical skill.
