作品解説(日本語)上空を見上げる三人の高士と一人の童子。童子のそばには鳥かごが置かれ、人々の見上げる遠く霞んだ山々の上空には、解き放たれた一羽の白い鶴が飛んでいます。人物と鶴は小さく描かれており、余白を活かした構図とあいまって情景の雄大さが強調されています。春草は横山大観らとともに輪郭線を描かない没線描法を研究し、日本画の革新に努めました。人物の衣服の表現には墨線ではなく色彩による線の表現がみられ、新しい表現への模索が伺える作品です。
Writing textThree aristocrats and a boy are looking up to the sky. Next to the boy, a bird cage is placed on the ground. The human figures are looking toward the skies above a faraway misty mountain where a white crane, released from the cage, is flying. The sublime scene is emphasized by the use of blank space coupled with the small depictions of the crane and the human figures. Hishida Shunso was an innovative artist of Nihonga (Japanese-style paintings) who, together with the painter Yokoyama Taikan (1868–1958) and others, studied techniques for expressing objects through the use of ink and color planes rather than contour lines. He has rendered the garments worn by the figures with colored lines, not lines of ink, suggesting that this is a work where he explores new expression.
