Description: | 47.5 x 42.0 x 4.5 s. b. r. "E.A.Hornel"; Annan label on verso CRE HORNEL, Edward Atkinson; (Scottish; 1864-1933) Label: After the success of his paintings from the 1894 trip to Japan, Hornel attempted to follow with variations on the same theme using local children as models. It resulted in paintings such as this, where the decorative disposition of shapes in Japanese art is combined with a very non-Japanese use of rich pigment. These were criticised for their apparent lack of draughtsmanship, sometimes unfairly.
The edge of the canvas seems to have been cut rather roughly, and varnish seem to have been applied on the canvas as well as on the wood panel . | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | HEAD : GIRL : CHILD : JAPAN : GLASGOW BOY : FAN : SCREEN : DECORATIVE : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
