Description |
Scene from the theater: triptych depicting Kabuki-Shibai. This triptych, or three-panel print, is an example of the popular Japanese graphic art called ukiyo-e. Here Kuniyoshi has depicted a typical scene from an unidentified kabuki play about the four seasons: the time is established as autumn by the two Chinese characters (kase - wind, and tsuki - moon), and the print probably forms part of a series. The central character, a monumental male, is flanked by stylized female characters whose personalities seemed to have received less attention than their elaborate garments. *Exhibited in 'Hope is the Thing with Feathers: Art of the Natural World', 4/11-7/31/2019. |
