Pine, bamboo and plum, Maruyama Ōkyo (1700-1800)
Trained in the brush techniques of Kano school painting, Maruyama Okyo established an innovative style as founder of the Kyoto-based Maruyama-Shijo school. Strong ink brushwork and dramatic compositions are combined in his work with naturalistic effects, evident here in the shading and depth of the sharply angled branches and winding screen.
