Description
A twenty-ninth untitled work by Nakajima Kiyoshi. Among the qualities that distinguish his printmaking from the broader Showa-era production is the consistency of his emotional register: a nostalgic warmth toward the natural world and toward the domestic and rural settings that define Japanese furusato aesthetics, combined with a technical sensitivity to atmospheric conditions that would be more at home in Western Impressionism than in the Japanese woodblock tradition. This cross-cultural synthesis is characteristic of his era and his artistic personality.
