Framed Prints
Framed Print of Tiger, 1500s. Creator: Sesson Sh?kei (Japanese, 1504-1589)
Tiger, 1500s. This screen with a tiger and its pair with a dragon together represent the elements of water and wind in Chinese cosmology: the dragons swirling form conjures rain clouds, and the tiger embodies the winds terrible, unpredictable force. Former CMA director Sherman Lee found in Sessons paintings intimations of a developing Japanese style distinct from Chinese predecessors. Here, parody and pattern are at the forefront. The formidable, awe-inspiring tiger takes on the demeanor of a curious house cat, and a once-snarling dragons face morphs into an oddly befuddled human expression. Such exaggerated, humorously rendered faces suggest a gentle domestication of these primal forces. Lee described Sessons work as inhabiting a world of aesthetic awareness, in which brushstroke and pattern are primary and where waves are arranged in graceful and rhythmically repetitive reflex curves, primarily decorative shapes and only secondarily water and foam.
