EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Egret in a storm, 1900-36" transports viewers to a tumultuous moment captured by the talented artist Ohara Koson. This exquisite colour woodcut showcases the beauty and resilience of nature's winged creatures amidst adversity. In this artwork, an elegant egret gracefully navigates through a raging storm. Its wings outstretched, it bravely battles against strong winds and torrential rain. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of the egret's feathers, conveying both its vulnerability and strength. Koson's work is part of the shin-hanga movement, which sought to revive traditional Japanese printmaking techniques while incorporating Western influences. The delicate calligraphy inscribed on a branch adds an element of poetry to the composition, enhancing its artistic depth. This piece exemplifies the mastery of color and form that characterizes Japanese prints. The subtle hues used in depicting the stormy sky create a sense of drama and intensity, contrasting with the egret's pure white plumage. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this artwork invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, harmony with nature, and finding beauty even in challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder that despite life's storms, there is always grace to be found if one knows where to look. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its timeless allure.
