Naumann， Tokyo Marshall Field V (b. 1941) Kyosai was apprenticed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861)， then Maemura Towa and Kano Tohaku who was the head of Surugadai Kano School. He mastered his own distinctive style through studying a great variety of paintings including the works by Kano， Tosa， Rimpa， Maruyama-Shijo and Ukiyo-e Schools. Unlike the method of the Kano school which focused on copying past masters and faithfully following set painting guides， Kyosai’s bird paintings started as –˜sketches from life’. This painting style was inspired by his first teacher， the famous ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 – 1861). Kyosai himself explained to the Australian-born painter Mortimer Menpes that he would –˜spend a whole day in the garden watching a bird and its particular attitude’， and then would recreate its image from memory. The –˜rough style of ink painting’ of this work would have been used by Kyosai to quickly capture his impression of the bird. 展开
