About the Item

Heron & Plovers Ink and silver leaf on paper Maekawa Bunrei (1837-1917) A pair of low six-panel Japanese screens by Maekawa Bunrei, a later master of the Kyoto based Shijo school of painting. On the right screen a solitary white heron stands motionless in a stream. On the left screen plovers play along a shoreline. The elegant forms are executed employing fluid, minimalistic ink brushstrokes. The soft brushstrokes and the sharp light of the silver leaf lend the scenes a sense of translucence. The sophisticated composition superbly exploits the long, horizontal pictorial surface of the pair of folding screens. The origins of Shijo school painting are closely linked with Haiku poetry. Like Haiku, Shijo attempts to capture an immediate, subjective reaction to a stimulus from the world of nature. Naturalism is eschewed for the psychological impression taken from it. As in Haiku, simplification, the reduction of a scene to its most basic signifying elements, is at the core of Shijo work. With their simplified design, masterful use of negative space and clarity of expression, this pair of screens represents the height of the Shijo school. Maekawa Bunrei (1837-1917) was a Kyoto based Shijo school artist. He studied painting under his father Maekawa Gorei (1806-1876), who in turn was a pupil of Matsumura Keibun (1779-1843). He was particularly known for his paintings of birds and flowers. He played an active role of the Kyoto painting scene of the Meiji era. He was a member of the Kyoto Art Association (Jounsha). He worked at the Kyoto Prefectural Painting School at its inception and was a judge at the Kyoto Japan Youth Painting Association. He was also a frequent exhibitor at Japan’s National Industrial Exhibitions.

Circa 1700 Japanese Screen Pair, Cranes & Pines, Kyoto Kano School

Located in Kyoto, JP

Pines and Cranes Anonymous. Kyoto Kano School. Late 17th/early 18th centuries, circa 1700. Pair of six-panel Japanese folding screens. Ink, gofun, pigment and gold leaf on paper. This bold composition presents two pine trees extending to the left and right across a gold leaf background. One tree is silhouetted against a green ground, golden clouds obscuring its true size, the other stretches across a stylized waterway. The pines are paired with Manchurian cranes with red crests and snow white plumage. Both have been highly auspicious motifs in East Asia since Chinese antiquity. Here the artist utilized fluid and instinctive ink brushstrokes to define the trunk, branches and tail feathers, in strong contrast to the precision and sharp angularity of the crane’s legs and beaks. The adoption of this vast metallic painting support required an unerring sense of design and composition, so that the negative space surrounding motifs could imply context for the otherwise floating pictorial elements. The brushwork detailing the trunks of the pines, the exaggerated dimensions of the pine trees and the strength and dynamism of the composition are all reminiscent of Kano Eitoku...
