In 1918, a trip to the south of France was organized by the Polish poet Léopold Zborowski, who had the idea that his artist-friends could sell pictures there to rich tourists. Foujita and his wife went along as did Soutine, Modigliani with his lover, Jeanne Hébuterne. The trip was not, however, a success and the group had to survive on the advances that Foujita had obtained from his Paris dealer. By the time the final reckoning arrived even those funds had run out, and their landlord, ignoring the offers of pieces of art, confiscated all their baggage in lieu of payment. In 1921, he became involved with Lucie Badoul, whom he called Youki, or "Rose Snow". By 1925, Foujita and his wife Fernande led a very open relationship, but Foujita did not forgive Fernande's affair with his cousin Koyanagi, a painter. In 1925, they divorced, and Lucie Badoul later became Foujita's third wife. This relationship ended when she became the lover, then the wife of the surrealist poet Robert Desnos.
