Description
A thirteenth untitled work by Nakajima Kiyoshi. His treatment of children in outdoor settings — a recurring compositional type in his work — shows the same attentiveness to atmospheric condition that characterizes his figure compositions generally. Children in Nakajima's world are not simply subjects of nostalgic sentiment but are participants in the natural world's life, their movement and play animated by the same energies that move wind and water. The Japanese aesthetic of furusato (hometown, homeland) that pervades his work encompasses childhood as one of its central reference points.
