Description
This record appears to reference an exhibition catalogue or poster title rather than an individual artwork: "Painter of the Wind: Nakajima Kiyoshi's World" (風の画家 〔中島潔の世界〕展 〜日本のこころ、故郷のこころ〜) translates as "Painter of the Wind: Nakajima Kiyoshi's World — The Heart of Japan, the Heart of the Hometown." The subtitle's emphasis on "nihon no kokoro" (the heart of Japan) and "furusato no kokoro" (the heart of one's hometown) situates Nakajima's work within a nostalgic nationalism that was prominent in Japanese art discourse during the Showa period. His prints of women and children in wind-swept rural landscapes were read as expressions of an essential Japanese sensibility.
