Woman With a Fan
Whatever else I do, and whatever styles I attempt, I invariably return (stylistically, I mean) to Japan.
This graceful lady was inspired by the work of the Japanese woodblock master Hokusai (1760-1849). Hokusai began drawing at six; but as an old man he claimed that he had done nothing worthwhile until the age of seventy-five. He estimated that by the age of 150 he would finally be a mature artist; but he died a few years short of that. He is famous (and infamous) as the father of Japanese woodblock pornography.
The Mt. Fuji print behind the lady was borrowed from the master Hiroshige (1797-1858), several of whose woodblock images were recreated on canvas by Vincent Van Gogh.
This lady prints on archival watercolor paper, bears my monogram and will be signed.
