EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Ase o fuku onna, Woman wiping sweat" created by the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro between 1918 and 1923, we are presented with a mesmerizing glimpse into the daily life of a young woman. The portrait showcases her head-and-shoulders as she delicately wipes away beads of perspiration from her face. Utamaro's mastery is evident in his meticulous attention to detail, particularly in capturing the subtle nuances of emotion on the woman's visage. Her expression reveals a mixture of exhaustion and determination, hinting at the challenges she may have faced throughout her day. The vibrant colors used in this woodcut add depth and vitality to the scene, enhancing our connection with the subject. This artwork invites us to reflect upon themes such as resilience, femininity, and perseverance. It serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks can hold profound beauty when observed through an artist's discerning eye. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this essence in his print from Liszt Collection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to late 18th-century Japan when Utamaro first brought it to life. Through his artistry and Quint Lox's photographic expertise, we can now appreciate this timeless portrayal of a young woman finding solace amidst her physical exertion—a testament to both human strength and artistic brilliance.
