Winter Landscape
Showa period (1926–1989)
Hanging scroll, ink and color on silk
Gift Yoichi Nakajima, 1961/2.3
This romantic idealization of nature draws on the centuries-old tradition of literati (amateur scholar-artist) painting in both China and Japan. For scholars and other members of the intelligentsia, nature was a place of mental refuge, even if it was only encountered through art. In this striking scroll, Matsubayashi Keigetsu, a successful commercial painter in the modern metropolis of Tokyo, presents a dramatic view of a winter landscape. Its high, snow covered mountains and the tall, bare trees offer little solace to the lone traveler making his way through the forest. This painting is a companion to Summer Landscape, in which a scholar bends his ear to the sound of a rushing stream under deep blue-green foliage. When viewed together, the scrolls demonstrate the stark contrasts of the two seasons. The painting is inscribed “Autumn of 1922.”This romantic idealization of nature draws on the centuries-old tradition of literati (amateur scholar-artist) painting in both China and Japan.
