Fans and Clouds over Rocks and Water by Hon'ami Kōetsu and workshop of Sotatsu. Japanese. Edo Period, early 17th century. Ink, color, gold, and silver on paper. Freer Gallery of Art.

From the Freer:

Screens of this type were inspired by the story of a prince and his retinue crossing a bridge in Kyoto. When the prince tossed his fan into the river, the sight was so beautiful that his companions followed suit, tossing their fans and remarking at their beauty as they fluttered toward the water.

Many screens mounted with painted fans were produced by the Tawaraya atelier headed by the painter Sotatsu. The paintings on the fans and on these screens reflect the distinctive compositions and style associated with Sotatsu and his workshop. For example, the shape, vivid colors, and soft delineation of the rock forms are comparable to the islands in Sotatsu's Waves at Matsushima screens. Eleven of the fans are inscribed with poems in the elegant calligraphic style of Koetsu, whose large, square seal also appears on some of the fans. A master calligrapher and artistic leader, Koetsu often collaborated with Sotatsu on projects combining painting and calligraphy.

Flores de primavera y otoño, frutas y pastos, siglo XVIII

Japonés

Periodo: Período Edo (1615-1868)

Medio: Par de pantallas de seis pliegues; pigmentos minerales en pan de oro

Clasificación: Pantalla

Dimensiones:

a: 61 3/8 x 142 5/8 in (155,9 x 362,3 cm)

b: 61 3/8 x 142 7/8 in (155,9 x 362,9 cm)

La escuela Rinpa representa la expresión más completa del enfoque altamente decorativo de la pintura de la naturaleza en Japón. Este par de pantallas de seis pliegues representa plantas y flores de temporada representadas en colores típicamente brillantes sobre un fondo dorado brillante. Las glicinas, hortensias, glorias matutinas y hollyhocks a la derecha representan la primavera y la transición al verano, mientras que el mijo, la berenjena, el trébol de arbusto, los crisantemos y las uvas a la izquierda sugieren finales de verano y otoño. Los colores minerales ricos y brillantes y las sutilezas de una técnica llamada tarashikomi,que mezcla tinta con pigmentos para producir un efecto encharcamiento, aumentan la elegante decoratividad que da a estas pantallas su carácter distintivo.

Rinpa es una tradición artística que fue fundada en el período Momoyama (1573-1615) por el calígrafo Hon'ami Koetsu y el diseñador-pintor Tawaraya Sotatsu, y fue perpetuada en el período Edo por Ogata Korin, su hermano Kenzan y varios seguidores. Rinpa se caracterizó por colores vivos y patrones decorativos audaces que derivaron de una tradición de imágenes y temas extraídos de la literatura clásica y la poesía. Otros temas populares de Rinpa incluyeron pájaros y flores de las cuatro estaciones. Los clientes de Rinpa provenían tanto de la corte como de las clases mercantiles adineradas de Kioto y Edo (Tokio).
