About this book
A mountain, a cluster of rocks and the movement of trees or water become parts of a carefully ordered composition in Henry P. Bowie's account of Japanese painting. Published in 1911, this illustrated study explains how brushwork, materials and aesthetic rules shape a picture. Its chapters move from personal experiences and art in Japan to painting methods, subjects, signatures and seals.
The practical examples show bamboo leaves changing with weather, snow created through shading or a single brushstroke, and rocks represented by established patterns. Bowie describes the principle of heaven, earth and man as a way of bringing varied elements into a unified landscape. The many plates include flowers, birds, waves and seasonal scenes.
