Description
A fifteenth untitled work by Nakajima Kiyoshi. His printmaking career represents a continuation of the Japanese woodblock tradition into the latter decades of the twentieth century, maintaining the medium's classical concerns with seasonal beauty and atmospheric delicacy while bringing a distinctly modern sensibility to their treatment. The nostalgic emotional register that pervades his work — the sense of a natural world experienced through the lens of cultural memory — was both his most commercially successful quality and his most artistically distinctive contribution.
