Description
A standalone work carrying the title Kazemoyou (風もよう, "wind patterns") — a recurrent thematic title in Nakajima Kiyoshi's oeuvre that reflects his sustained interest in the visible and invisible movement of wind through landscape and the bodies of his subjects. Wind, in Nakajima's work, is never simply meteorological but is experienced as a quality of emotional atmosphere: the way a figure's hair and garments move, the way grasses bend, the particular quality of light that accompanies moving air. This sense of atmospheric animation distinguishes his prints from more static figure and landscape work of the Showa period.
