The intricate shape formed by the small tree winding up the left of the picture is a particularly Japanese motif. Similar pale colours have been used for areas at the front of the picture and for the background, so there is little sensation of depth. Only the faces of the three girls have been given a three-dimensional quality.

The Little Mushroom Gatherers, 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Atkinson Hornel that beautifully captures the essence of Japanese art. In this piece, Hornel demonstrates his admiration for Japanese aesthetics through the flattening of space and emphasis on intricate patterns. The focal point of the painting is a group of three young girls, engrossed in their task of picking mushrooms. Their faces are delicately rendered with a three-dimensional quality, standing out against the pale colors used throughout the composition. The background and foreground blend seamlessly together, creating little sensation of depth. One striking feature in this artwork is the small tree winding up on the left side, forming an intricate shape reminiscent of traditional Japanese motifs. This element adds to the overall sense of harmony and balance within the painting. Edward Hornel was an influential member of Glasgow School painters during the early 20th century. His ability to incorporate elements from different artistic traditions is evident in "The Little Mushroom Gatherers". This work not only showcases his technical skill but also reflects his deep appreciation for nature and childhood innocence. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where simplicity meets complexity and tradition merges with innovation. It serves as a testament to Hornel's talent as well as his contribution to Scottish art history.
