Artwork · Hashimoto Gahō · c. 1903 · painting · Philadelphia Museum of Art

Late in life Gahō returned to the classic ink painting of his Japanese forebears: light and dark ink, precise brushstrokes and wet washes, each scene anchored by a robust outcropping of rocks1. Bought by the museum in 20162. Philadelphia Museum of Art, Landscape, “Late in life Hashimoto Gahō returned to the classic ink painting techniques of his Japanese forebears, as in this lyrical landscape. The artist skillfully balances light and dark ink, precise brushstrokes, and wet washes, anchoring each scene with a robust outcropping of rocks”. ↩ Ebd., “Purchased with the Hollis Fund for East Asian Art Acquisitions, 2016”. ↩ Literatur Philadelphia Museum of Art, Landscape: Hashimoto Gahō, Landscape (2016-194-12a), in: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Collection, https://www.philamuseum.org/objects/338956 (zuletzt abgerufen am 28.10.2026).
