1735-1790Japan
Isoda Koryūsai turned a second career into one of the busiest workshops of eighteenth-century Edo, producing roughly 2,500 print designs and about ninety paintings, including scenes like Bijin in Front of a Tiger Screen and Beauty Beneath a Willow Tree. Look for how he bends kimono folds into flowing diagonals, a skill honed in the tall, narrow pillar-print format, giving even quiet domestic moments like Mother and Child at Play a sense of movement.
