Reconnaisance on a Snowy Night Near Nuzhuang (1895).
Of course, I'm going to steal that title for a poem's title...which will of course be about something completely else.
The Rhode Island School of Design has an amazing museum and an absolutely stupefying collection of Japanese woodblock prints.
The Rhode Island School of Design (pronounced "Riz-dee" by the cognoscenti and other annoying, lazy people) also has a nine hundred year old Buddha that I am in love with.
Obviously, I bought this postcard in the gift shop (just like that Luft character in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) to prove my humanness.
Is it working?
The triptych staging of the composition here is just stunning.
The foregrounded white birch is uber-real.
The awareness of time's triune nature is spooky.
