EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by artist Kobayashi Kiyochika, we are transported to a moment of tension and danger. The scene unfolds with a sign board prominently displaying the words "Do not climb this tree" warning against any attempt to ascend the towering black pine tree. Set in Kobayashi's era, around 1904 or 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, this artwork captures an unexpected twist. As our eyes wander through the composition, we witness a dramatic turn of events: a Russian soldier finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time as a heavy branch plummets from above. The falling pine branch symbolizes nature's unpredictable power and serves as an ironic reminder that rules can sometimes be broken even without human intervention. Kobayashi's masterful use of color adds depth and intensity to this striking image. The vibrant hues bring life to both the lush green foliage surrounding the black pine tree and the uniform worn by the unsuspecting soldier. Through his meticulous woodcut technique, every detail is meticulously etched into existence. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on themes such as authority, fate, and consequence. Quint Lox has skillfully captured its essence in this print from Liszt Collection - an exquisite addition for art enthusiasts seeking profound narratives within historical contexts.
