    • MORI IPPO: A FINE PAINTING OF A BEAR
      May. 27, 2022

      MORI IPPO: A FINE PAINTING OF A BEAR

      Est: €1,000 - €2,000

      MORI IPPO: A FINE PAINTING OF A BEAR By Mori Ippo (1798-1871), signed Ippo with seal Mori Keishi in Japan, mid to late 19th century Ink and watercolors on paper. Artist signature and one seal to the upper right corner. Condition: Excellent condition with only minimal creases, stains, wear and soiling. Framed behind glass. Provenance: From a private collection in New York, USA. Dimensions: 108 x 71 cm (with frame) and 92 x 57 cm (the image) An exquisite demonstration of a modernist, ground-breaking attitude towards the study of nature, this penetrating image of a bear is one of a small number of works from the period with this motif, which at the time appeared more frequently in Netsuke or Okimono than in painting. The picture is executed in black ink and watercolors on pale, prepared paper, a common yet demanding technique. In this work, the artist infused a new level of perception into a longstanding tradition of animal imagery in Japan by subtly modelling the head and body with gripping realism. The structure is masterfully modulated in bold yet virtuoso brushstrokes, which permit not even the slightest mistake, using more pressure to define the massive back and paws, thus creating a natural sense of force. With faint flesh color as his only instrument of highlighting, the artist achieved great depth, evoking the play of light and shade on the animal’s face. As a result, the bear seems so imbued with life that it gives the appearance of having been drawn from a living animal. The artist studied under Mori Tetsuzan who later adopted him.
