🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"Toward what is the devotion that painted nature in radiant color directed?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a painting of a maple tree and small birds from the series of living things by the Japanese painter Ito Jakuchu. The surface, colored with relentless care down to each leaf vein and each feather, is dazzling. In this devoted depiction I see the power of sincerity. Jakuchu painted only an ordinary maple and ordinary birds, yet by pouring in boundless mastery he turned them into a surface impossible to forget. More than what one paints, how much devotion one pours raises the ordinary into the extraordinary. Devotion makes its subject shine.
