EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pillar Print" dates back to the 18th-19th century and was created by an unknown artist. It is part of a remarkable album of woodblock prints called surimono, which originated in Japan during the Edo period. The image showcases the delicate beauty of convolvulus arvensis, commonly known as bindweed or morning glory, gracefully entwined around a pillar. The artist's skillful use of ink and color on paper brings out the intricate details of this enchanting flower. The contrast between black and white adds depth and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. This piece exemplifies the artistic excellence prevalent during this era. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork transports viewers to a serene countryside setting in Japan. The print captures nature's essence with its depiction of field convolvulus blooming against a backdrop that evokes tranquility. As an ukiyo-e woodblock print, it represents both historical significance and cultural heritage. Despite being crafted centuries ago by an anonymous creator, its timeless allure continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
