Japanese 2-Panel Screen – Study of an Okinawan Mother and Child, Taisho Period, Early 20th Century, Signed by Matsumura Baiso (1884–1935)
This beautiful 2-panel screen presents a tender study of an Okinawan mother and child, created during the Taisho period in the early 20th century. The artwork is signed by the esteemed artist Matsumura Baiso (1884–1935), a prominent figure known for his sensitive and intimate depictions of Japanese life and the human form.
The scene captures a moment of warmth and connection, with the mother holding her child, their expressions reflecting the deep bond between them. The choice of Okinawan subjects in Baiso's work adds a distinct regional flavor, showcasing the culture and traditions of Okinawa, which, during the Taisho period, were being celebrated for their unique identity within Japan. The artist's use of delicate brushwork and subtle colors emphasizes the emotional depth of the scene, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere.
This screen serves as an excellent example of Taisho-era realism in Japanese art, where the traditional elements of portraiture and naturalism were blended with a growing interest in more introspective, modern themes.
