| A later Meiji period two panel screen, Pigment on silk, signed Hosen (Usui Hosen) dating 1900-1910. Shunkei lacquer frame with cloth backing. Quintessential for the era, the scene is brushed in an abbreviated style, allowing the viewer to participate by completing the details. Muted colors and the lack of hard lines lend the screen an ethereal quality, as if recalled from a distant memory. The screen is 56 inches x 5 feet (142 x 152 cm) and is in fine condition but for some stress in the silk in the lower portion of the womans garments. Usui Hosen (b 1881, Kyoto) graduated the Kyoto School of Art and apprenticed under Yamamoto Shunkyo before establishing himself as a known Nihonga artist in early 20th century Kyoto the cultural heart of Japan. | |||||||||||
