Autumn Landscape

Yosa Buson Japanese

Not on view

With its soft tones of ink and color against luminous satin and the kinetic quality of the brushwork in the desolate mountain, this late painting by Buson exhibits a lyrical, personal expression. One of the most renowned haiku poets of his day, Buson made his livelihood as a painter. Along with Ike Taiga he is considered to be one of the major figures in the Nanga movement, which adapted the painting of Ming and Qing China to Japanese sensibilities.
