拍品描述
By Kano Eitoku II (1740-1794), signed Eitoku Hogen hitsu with seal TakanobuJapan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Ink on paper. Mounted as a hanging scroll within a silk brocade frame. Boldly painted with the Lucky God, his face twisted in a deviously menacing and lewd expression, as he lifts his belly suggestively with his hand.Inscription: To the top right, signed ‘Eitoku Hogen hitsu’ with seal Takanobu.Image SIZE 102.5 x 55.5 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 198 x 71 cmCondition: Very good condition with wear, small stains, some soiling, and minor creasing. The mounting with minor traces of wear and age.With an inscribed wood tomobako (storage box).In the Japanese painting tradition, sumi-e (ink painting) has often been regarded as the highest test of an artist’s skills. The artist must have the technical skill to control the brush (yohitsu) and control the delicate balance between the water and carefully prepared ink (yoboku). The strength of the brush stroke must do more than replicate or render the subject—it must embody its vitality and essence as well. As Henry P. Bowie wrote so succinctly in 1911: ‘Colors can cheat the eye but sumi never can; it proclaims the master and exposes the tyro.’ (On The Laws of Japanese Painting, p. 39).The figure smiling flamboyantly with his great belly exposed is Budai (Hotei), a Buddhist monk in Tang dynasty China (618–907), who was believed to be an incarnation of Maitreya. According to Buddhist belief, Maitreya is a Bodhisattva who will descend to this world in the future as a savior. His untidy hair, beard, dark circles under the eyes, and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth are drawn by carefully superimposing many thin lines in a light shade. On the other hand, his robe and the left hand are drawn in thick bold lines. This striking contrast between the subtle and bold brushwork characterizes this portrait.Museum comparison:The present scroll is inspired by a famous painting of Budai, attributed to Mu Xi, Southern Song dynasty, 13th century, presently in the collection of the Kyushu National Museum, collection reference number A31, and designated as an Important Cultural Property in Japan. Note how the artist has been able to faithfully capture the facial expression and tyrannic demeanor. Compare a related painting of Hotei (Budai), attributed to Odano Naotake (1749-80), 18th century, in the Tokyo National Museum, collection reference number A-1196.
