YOSA BUSON. Autumn landscape

Autumn Landscape. Artist: Yosa Buson (Japanese, 1716-1783). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: 14 1/4 in. × 10 in. (36.2 × 25.4 cm) Overall with mounting: 47 3/4 × 15 in. (121.3 × 38.1 cm) Overall with knobs: 47 3/4 × 17 1/8 in. (121.3 × 43.5 cm). Date: ca. 1780. 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.
