The pine and bamboo are defined by ink wash, but the flowers take form through color within contour lines.Description
White camellias bloom behind a large pine in the right screen and blue morning glories creep through bamboo in the left screen of this composition. The mountains and bridge suggest a continuous landscape, but the paintings actually juxtapose flowers of winter and summer, with time progressing from right to left. Kaihō Yūshō painted similar landscapes for Zen temples in Kyoto.- ?-1987(Eastern Fine Arts, New York, NY, ?-1987, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1987-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, 1987-present
