Compare this to another sumi-e painting by this same artist, Gekko, that was similar in style and size that sold at Christie's March 29, 2005 auction for $4200 plus commission. This is a 19th Century Japanese Painting of a boy on an ox in a shallow river looking at a mountain, by Gekko Ogata (Japan's first artist ever to receive international acclaim) on a Silk Canvas with the Original Silk Mount. Fair to Good Condition. Comes with the original box in Very Good Condition. 64.5"(164cm) x 21"(53cm). Suibokuga, or sumi-e, are monochrome paintings that are painted directly from conception to the canvas, without any preliminary sketching. They give a rather quiet impression compared with Western oil painting and were considered more demanding than painting with color, requiring more discipline, emphasizing line, shading, and the use of white space and abstraction. This centuries-old art was actively practiced in Japan until about 100 years ago, and it is often said that suibokuga truly captures the real ?beauty of Japan?. Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse, Monet, and Whistler are among the many Western artists who have said that they were fascinated with and influenced by Japanese sumi-e paintings.
