    • No. Cal. Coastal Paradise

      The painting is part of the second series made by Yoshimi Mise in Fukuoka, but it also seems to incorporate some elements from her earliest works. This period saw a flourishing of the Fauvism movement started by Matisse, to which Mise was exposed through Kondō Yoshijirō (近藤義次郎), an art dealer who was also her stepfather. The painting is done in…

    • Coastal mist

      There are two possible reasons why Misaki has chosen to paint flowers in oil painting format for this piece. One is that the artist wanted to portray the beauty of nature by using images related to flowers, while adding a slightly abstract feel to the pieces. Another reason is that by using flowers and plants, she was making reference to…

    • Stairway to light

      This painting brings out the true beauty of nature, a flower arrangement that can be seen as a stairway to heaven. This type of flower arrangement is called “Kengai”, which means “hanging” in Japanese, and consists of hanging flowers from vines or branches.

Whitman readily agreed, and in…

    • Squaw valley

      This work is influenced by Japanese art and culture, as well as nature.

    • Grapevines

      “The Japanese name for grapevine is “”suisen”” (literally, “”snake well””). The reason for this becomes evident if one looks at the way in which the shoots grow. Grapevines are cultivated primarily to produce fruit, but since they also produce attractive foliage, these vines are often used for decorative purposes, especially in the winter. The vines are only cultivated for their…
