Nagasawa Rosetsu / Bamboo and Stone with Turtle
In Rosetsu’s works, occasionally exquisite compositions emerge. In this painting, a turtle snugly fits into the foreground’s margin, creating a slightly mysterious composition. Rosetsu’s approach involves pushing elements into the painting without concern if they might overflow, capturing a sense of freedom from conventional concepts and a joyous, uninhibited enjoyment of painting.
