Description

Kamisaka Sekka — Statement Duo | Small Waves | Japanese Woodblock Art PrintKamisaka Sekka (18661942) was the great revivalist of the Rinpa school in the Meiji and Taish eras the artist who brought the decorative tradition of Krin and Statsu into the 20th century with his landmark album Momoyogusa (A World of Things, 19091910). His compositions waves, chrysanthemums, peonies, autumn leaves combine Rinpa's bold flat patterning with a modern graphic sensibility that anticipated Art Nouveau and the aesthetics of early modernism.
