40 Modern Japanese Artists

My Japanese tutor is a oil & sketch painter and was one of the 40 selected.
Chieko had some of her works on American Indian motifs on display.
So I headed up to Kyoto City Museum a few weeks ago to play the patron.

Her American Indian Deers.

One of the works I saw by another artist inspired me to do this:

The Raven

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

Cerebrio: My sitemeter has been turning up something really interesting. Try throwing in "Babara Kruger" into Yahoo search. See if you can find "wally". ;-)
