image_soga_shohaku_literati_japanese_screen_JSW6.jpg 

JS6 

Literati screen - Japanese painting of classical Chinese landscape

Signed: Soga Shohaku(1730 - 1781), Mid Edo period, C18th

Sumi ink and sunago (powdered gold leaf)

W 363cm x H 168cm

An important historical artist and the subject of a solo exhibition at the Kyoto National Museum in 2005, Shohaku was a soga painter and a dominant figure in the Kyoto artworld although many of his contemporaries including Okyo belived him to be mad and a fanatic due to his lack of conformity to polite society. An independent and proud artist often drawing influence from Chinese literati and legend, the strength in his brushwork was still appreciated by critics of the time. Shohaku works can be found in many major international public collections including the Fogg Art Museum Harvard, Freer Gallery of Art Washington, Itsuo Art Museum Osaka, Kosho-ji Kyoto, Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Tokyo National Museum and Tokyo University of Arts Exhibition Hall.
