Description : This watercolor on paper is so subtle it is almost unreal! I have attempted to capture it as best I could with the camera, but it does the work scant justice. It measures app. 21 ? x 27 ? in its original hand carved and gilt Arts and Crafts frame; 15 ? x 20 1/8 painting alone and is signed/dated lower right Yamada Baske 1922. The artist, whose style merges early 20th century impressionism with the subtle and gestural aesthetic of Japanese brush painting, has created a hushed and otherworldly depiction of a fogbound dock n the early morning light. You cannot discern them in the photographs, but Baske has uses subtle shifts in the shades of white to ethereally delineate the shapes of sailing vessels moored in the distance. BIO. Alright…enough talking about a visual experience; this is one painting that will not disappoint you when you open the package. It is in good condition with minimal fading and no stains or tears.
