探元画集

木村探元 画, 審美書院 編 · 1926 · 審美書院 · 53 pictures

A Japanese painting album (ehon) of ink landscapes published by Shinbi Shoin in 1926, reproducing the work of the painter Kimura Tangen for a general audience of artists and collectors. The pictures are monochrome ink-wash scenes of rocky cliffs, pine trees, misty mountains, small pagodas and boats, with wide areas of blank paper that a designer could borrow for negative space, sparse brushwork, and atmospheric tonal gradation.
