Brief Biography-The paintings of Hasegawa Tōhaku exemplify extreme opposites in Japanese art. His Cherry Tree painting is full of content as opposed to the Pine Grove screens, which contain sheer strokes of ink to achieve their effect. Tōhaku studied at the Kanō school, and later, Sesshū Tōyō influenced his work. In Edo, he became the most notable artist of his era. |
