"Hibiscus Manihot"
1923
The flowers favored by Bakusen are clear and fragrant, including the hibiscus manihot depicted here as well as mustard, peonies, morning glories, lotus, and chrysanthemum. This work is also soothing, and Bakusen's superlative grace floats over it.
Image Tsuchida Bakusen:
Born in Niigata Prefecture in 1887. He moved to Kyoto hoping to become a priest but eventually took up the study of painting under Takeuchi Seiho. In 1909, he entered the Kyoto Municipal College of Painting, where he studied classical painting and the Western contemporary philosophy of painting. He exhibited works in which he applied post-impressionist techniques to the Bunten Exhibition; unhappy with the judging, he formed the Society for the Creation of a National Painting Style in 1918 together with Sakakibara Shiho and others. He toured Europe in 1921 and produced paintings that pursued intellectual beauty through the use of refined colors and delicate structure. His style developed an inner neo-classicism.
