About Takanori Ogisu

Takanori Ogisu (1901–1986), who signed his work as Oguiss, was a Japanese figurative painter who spent most of his adult life in France. Born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, he arrived in Paris in 1927 and joined the vibrant Montparnasse art community, where he developed a reputation for atmospheric cityscape paintings of Parisian streets and neighborhoods. He returned to Japan between 1940 and 1948, exhibiting in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, before settling permanently in France. Oguiss is recognized as part of the Japanese contingent within the broader École de Paris, and his work bridges Japanese pictorial sensibility with European modernist figuration. His paintings appear in public collections documented by the RKD and are recorded in major artist authority databases including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, and the Library of Congress.

Common works and media

Oguiss produced oil-on-canvas cityscapes, particularly views of Paris streets, bridges, and neighborhoods. He also created figurative compositions, drawings, and graphic works. His paintings tend to be modest to mid-scale, with recognizable urban architecture and atmospheric light. Works from both his pre-war Montparnasse period and his post-war Paris years circulate in the art market, with the Paris cityscapes being the most commonly traded.

Market and appraisal context

Oguiss's Parisian cityscapes are the most frequently encountered works at auction. When evaluating an Oguiss painting, collectors and appraisers should confirm the signature style (he signed 'Oguiss'), assess the subject matter for recognizably Parisian motifs, and review provenance for connections to his Paris or Japan periods. The artist's output includes oil paintings, works on paper, and graphic works. No specific realized-price data was available in the sources collected for this page; auction results should be verified through dedicated databases. The varied romanizations of his name across catalogs may cause lots to be listed under 'Ogisu,' 'Oguiss,' or 'Oguisse.'
