Description:
|
In the 1920s, Kuniyoshi painted images that were more angular, somewhat Cubist style and a tilted plane that allowed him to paint the most detail for each object in his paintings. This tilted plane can be seen in the face of the woman in this work. In these early paintings, Kuniyoshi was painting from a combination of his memory and imagination (rather than from life), which is a Japanese mode of thinking about painting. The view of a schooner outside the window is also on a tilted plane. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
