This original watercolor landscape tells a fascinating story of cross-cultural artistic exchange between Japan and America at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is by Yamada Baske, who was born Fukawa Jin Basuke (1869–1934). COMPOSITION: The composition captures a serene rural Japanese landscape blanketed in a heavy spring mist. In the foreground, an elegant, leaning cherry blossom tree dominates the left frame. In the mid-ground, a quiet riverbank path leads the viewer's eye toward thatched-roof farmhouses nestled under a soft horizon. The cherry blossom tree symbolizes ephemerality, renewal and the beautiful, fleeting nature of life. Baske’s hallmark use of a bleached, light-blanched color palette heightens this sense of a dreamy, vanishing memory or a fleeting moment in time. ARTIST: Born in Tokyo, Baske immigrated to the United States in 1885. He studied at prestigious institutions like the Art Students' League in New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, training under the renowned American Impressionist William Merritt Chase. Baske subsequently split his life between America and Japan, notably teaching watercolor classes in Minneapolis and at the Tokyo Fine Art School. In 1906, when this work was completed, he was a fully established, highly regarded artist working primarily in the Northeast—specifically around Philadelphia and New York. He became famous for his gauzy, light-infused watercolor landscapes that introduced Western impressionist...

Edward Dufner (1872 - 1957) Monhegan Island, Maine Watercolor on paper Sight 16 x 20 inches Signed lower right With a long-time career as an art teacher and painter of both 'light' and 'dark', Edward Dufner was one of the first students of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy to earn an Albright Scholarship to study painting in New York. In Buffalo, he had exchanged odd job work for drawing lessons from architect Charles Sumner. He also earned money as an illustrator of a German-language newspaper, and in 1890 took lessons from George Bridgman at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. In 1893, using his scholarship, Dufner moved to Manhattan and enrolled at the Art Students League where he studied with Henry Siddons Mowbray, figure painter and muralist. He also did illustration work for Life, Harper's and Scribner's magazines. Five years later, in 1898, Dufner went to Paris where he studied at the Academy Julian with Jean-Paul Laurens and privately with James McNeill Whistler. Verification of this relationship, which has been debated by art scholars, comes from researcher Nancy Turk who located at the Smithsonian Institution two 1927 interviews given by Dufner. Turk wrote that Dufner "talks in detail about Whistler, about how he prepared his canvasas and about numerous pieces he painted. . . A great read, the interview puts to bed" the ongoing confusion about whether or not he studied with Whistler. During his time in France, Dufner summered in the south at Le Pouleu with artists Richard Emil Miller...
