Description
An eighteenth untitled print by Nakajima Kiyoshi. The exhibition title "Painter of the Wind: Nakajima Kiyoshi's World — The Heart of Japan, the Heart of the Hometown" captures the double register of his work: it is simultaneously a painterly investigation of atmospheric phenomena (wind, light, seasonal change) and an expression of cultural nostalgia (Japan, hometown, the emotional landscape of memory). This combination — aesthetic investigation and cultural sentiment — gave his work wide appeal in the Showa period and has sustained collector interest in the decades since.
