I kept thinking about fusion cuisine, while hearing how Kuniyoshi took Western subjects and incorporated Japanese treatments. If there’s fusion cuisine, why not fusion art? I particularly liked the side-by-side comparisons of the same subject, from a Western artist and then from Kuniyoshi’s treatment.
For anyone who’s interested, in the first year of this series we had a talk about a Song dynasty-era Chinese scroll landscape painting, and a lot of the elements in Kuniyoshi’s paintings remind me of those scrolls. Happy to share that recording if anyone wants to see it.
I believe that kuniyoshi was really bold and brave through his artwork. Despite it being around the 19th century, he learned how to highlight his feelings and not be afraid to stand out from other artists. He was never one to want to go along with the crowd as he always brought out different artistic styles to his audience. – Nerissa Campos
