Oh, don't mind me, just completely verklempt over Kawase Hasui's art again. Woodblocks, people. These are woodblock prints.

Rain at Ushibori - 1929
A portrait woodblock print of a Japanese harbour from the early twentieth century. Rain comes down over the whole scene, with a narrow fishing boat protruding from the bottom left corner. From the middle right extends the harbour quay and a white building with black tiles, with an open doorway that you can see stacked hessian sacks. On the end of the quay is a wooden shack and bundles of wood. To the left of that is another fishing boat with two passengers, one completely covered with a broad beige parasol, the other white haired and wearing a navy jack, who is punting the boat. The top of the image is made up of white clouds, then open grey sky that darkens towards the top.

The talented artist Vladimir Serov portrays a worker in a moment of pause, perhaps of reflection. The details of the Realist movement are impeccable, rich in artfully crafted details, without mannerism and capable of communicating a powerful, I might say vital, presence, pulsating life!
