| Swallows flit between the elaborately painted gofun blossoms of this perfect small six panel screen signed Gekko and dated 1922. Washes over color create the lichen studded tree limbs, and the flowers fade from crisp clarity to formless clouds of white. The blossoms are caught on that one day before they are blown from the branches in snowy rain, evidenced by the profusion of young leaves which permeate the branches. The artist has shown superb skill in attaining an affect on paper ordinarily reserved for silk canvas. It is simply bordered in a thin black lacquered wooden frame accentuating the delicacy of the scene, with forest green backing paper. The screen is 30 by 87 inches (76 x 222 cm), in very fine condition. | |||||||||||||||
