Description
A woman or figure in a summer setting is touched by a light breeze, her clothing or hair responding to the invisible movement of the air. Kawano was a master of suggesting atmospheric conditions through graphic means — a slight curve in a line, an asymmetry in a figure's posture — and Gentle Breeze demonstrates this skill at its most refined. The limited edition designation suggests it was among his more valued compositions, distributed to a select number of collectors.
