RARE MID-20TH CENTURY JAP AN ESE VINTAGE OIL. ON LINEN LANDSCAPE PAINTING OF JAPANESE COUNTRYSIDE, WITH MOUNTAIN RANGES. VAST FORESTS, W/ ORIGINAL PERIOD. Post WWII Japanese Modernist painting. Frame: 28 ½” Width x 27 ½” Height. Image: 20″ Width x 18 ¾” Height. The painting is Modernist and noticeably western influenced in its overall sensibility and conceptual approach and expectedly, is framed in a period 1950’s gold gilt enhanced, wide profile wooden frame with a linen cloth (grass) liner and gold gilt subliner. It’s signed by the artist with a red stamp, as well as hand-written Japanese black ink calligraphy in the lower right corner of the painting. There are no stains, creases, permutations or tears. Incredible pictorial space, depth of field and the idea of the unspoiled and as of yet, unruined, virgin Japanese rural, mountain landscape, seems to be the determinitive, overriding theme. On the heels of the carnage and destruction of the aftermath of WWII and the catastrophic consequences and lingering effects it brought to most Japanese people, this western-influenced landscape painting is a kind of reprieve or humanist visionary escape from the horrors of the present and the not-so-distant past and a kind of triumphant reclamation of everything that is right and whole, that being the natural, untouched Japanese landscape, the same landscape that existed before the catastrophe of war and which preceded all the death and large-scale destruction. The western tendency is notable, with many of the hallmarks and characteristics of western-influenced landscape painting taking hold in this particular work by its Japanese practitioner. Really a breathtaking and quite rare Japanese hand-to-surface, one-of-a-kind landscape oil painting on fine linen. The painting appears to have been formerly stretched upon a wood stretcher but removed and laid flat for this later glass enclosed frame presentation. It remains however, largely untouched and undisturbed. Good to Very Good overall vintage condition. There’s some minor mildew spotting or slight foxing, largely found in the upper atmosphere of the painting. The painting was found under glass, which may have contributed to some degree of trapped humidity and moisture being locked underneath the glass and which allowed the plant growth (mildew) to take hold and to invasively take root and grow on the surface of the painted fine linen. The woven fibers of the cloth are of high quality artist’s linen, as it is very fine and which was used principally in European academic painting preparation. This episodes of mildew spotting are mostly mild and barely noticeable from any appreciable viewing distance away. It was taken out of frame to be inspected and have its surface gently dusted and wiped clean and to remove grime and dust from underneath the glass as well.

RESTING PAIR OF DEER’ (JA P AN) MID-20TH CENTURY WATERCOLOR PAINTING ON PAPER, SIGNED & STAMPED W/ RED & BLACK INK, MATTED & IN ORIGINAL GOLD GILT FAUX BAMBOO. Post WWII mid-20th century Jap an ese fine art & watercolor landscape painting. Frame: 15″ Width x 16 34″ Height. Image: 9 14″ Width x 10 12″ Height. For sale is this very nice, post-WWII, mid-20th century, vintage and Minimalist in attitude, signed Japanese watercolor painting on paper of a pair of resting deer. The figuration is absolutely wonderful, being extremely sensitive and delicate, seeming to effortlessly describe the pair of Asian white tailed deer resting on a slope or grassy field. With a minimal use of color and efficient, economic painterly mark-making, the Japanese artist expresses more of the poetic essence of these graceful creatures in nature than in describing their specific features. Essence trumps naturalism here and visual poetry is the driving, determining conceptual force. The background is described with nothing more a few wide brush abbreviated brush strokes using only a cerulean blue wash and a light burnt umber wash. This is Japanese Minimalism at its finest. The watercolor is signed in black ink and has a red ink artist’s stamp on the upper left. A simply beautiful mid-20th century vintage Japanese watercolor painting. Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition. The item “RESTING PAIR DEER’ (JAPAN) MID-20TH C WithC SIGNED/STAMPED FAUX BAMBOO GOLD FRAME” is in sale since Monday, April 13, 2020.
