| A early to mid 20th century nihonga painting of a butterfly and peony. Traditionally a highly detailed and realistic scene, here Shunpo has reduced the realism and concentrated upon more simplified and repetitive forms, allowing the brilliance of his coloring to provide the work with both weight and nuance. Painted with ink and pigment on silk the work is in very good condition. The original brocade mounting is also in good condition and presents the work very well. The scroll measures 80'' by 11.5'' (204 by 29.5 cm). The image measures 51'' by 8'' (129 by 20.5 cm). Abe Shunpo (1877-1956) was born in Fukuoka. He moved to Osaka at the age of 16 to begin training under the tutelage of Fukada Chokujo. At 19 he moved to Kyoto to study under Kikuchi Hobun. He went on to exhibit with the Nitten/Teiten on countless occasions, eventually becoming a judge of the prestigious organization. His work is held in the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. | ||||||||||
