Footnotes

松竹図屏風 寺崎廣業 六曲一双 絹本水墨 明治時代

A creative and eclectic painter, Kogyo approached these paintings in a minimalist spirit and the artist's feeling for abstraction, atmospheric perspective and the value of negative space echo in this composition.

Compare with a pair of similarly executed screens in terms of style and composition painted by his contemporary Shimomura Kanzan (1873-1930), entitled Kinoaida no Aki held in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, illustrated by Fujita Tsuneo, Nihon Bijyutsu Zenshu, vol.2, p.428, pl.1008; Bijyutsu Shuppansha, Tokyo, 1969 and another pair of screens entitled Ochiba by Hishida Shunsho (1874-1911), see ibid., p.429, in the collection of the Eisei Bunko Museum in Tokyo.
