Painting by high school girl?
|
| :: | This is my only oil-painted card that has a message and postmark (1910 from Nagasaki). It was addressed to a lady in Alameda, California and says in English that the card was hand painted by a Japanese high school girl. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. But the painting style of this card and the others you see here are the same. (I bought them as a set.) |

Hi again! As I look at these particular cards in your collection, they are definitely by the same atrist as those I recently acquired - they all have that same style and "look" - and they really are exceptionally beautiful. How remarkable that a young lady of Japan almost a century ago may have painted these, and now they are in collections around the globe! And, if she indeed was from Nagasaki, how remarkable that these beautiful little testimonies to both the beauty of Japan and to the universal love of art would have their origins in that city so famous for the tragedy which overtook it decades later.
