- Description
Unlike paper, silk is suitable for the use of fine blurring techniques. Painters who know how to handle silk and painting materials can very smoothly control the color tone, which enables them to create detailed artworks.
This work is a painting of Nandina in the Snow on silk by Miyake Wakō. Above all, the gradation of the ink in the background is the key essence of this work. In addition to giving the work itself a profound impression, the ink is gradually thinned from the bottom to the top, creating a sense of freedom and giving the work an exquisite sense of dynamism without giving the impression of being cramped. The color of black ink also gives a sense of the coldness of winter, and, at the same time, serves to highlight the white of the snow covering the nandina tree and fruits. This is a masterpiece that shows the high level of Miyake Wakō’s painting ability to freely manipulate the fine changes in the color of black ink on silk.
