Description
A fourteenth untitled print by Nakajima Kiyoshi. "The Painter of the Wind" continued working throughout the latter decades of the Showa era, his style evolving but his central concerns remaining consistent: the atmospheric beauty of the Japanese natural world, the emotional charge of seasonal change, the way that wind and light transform the mundane landscape of fields and gardens into something worth looking at with sustained attention. These late works often show a greater economy of means than his earlier compositions — fewer elements, more atmospheric suggestion.
