The Hundredfold Beauties of Spring
Uragami GyokudōJapanese, 1745 - 1820
Uragami Gyokudö was known for his eccentricity and his fondness for wine. He created this landscape using a playful monochrome-ink style that was originally championed by Chinese literati. Although the painting is small in scale, perhaps originally an album leaf, Gyokudö incorporates a variety of brushstrokes--dry and wet, pale and deep-toned, fine and broad--which give it a rich visual texture.
