"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists."

More of the Same
Cranes (detail) by Ogata Korin, Edo Period c. 1700, Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian
This is part of a larger work (a screen). The repetition of the form of the group of Cranes gives the work a lighthearted charm.

Stunning use of plain space in the background.
Great!
To have a wall picture in my dining room...representing this.
Great picture. (Great site too by the way!)
