Your art history post for today: by Japanese woman artist Negishi Ayako (1913-1948), Waiting for Makeup (Keshō o matsu化粧 を待), 1938, black ink and coloured pigment on paper, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. #arthistory #womanartist #japan #womenartists #asianart

From the museum’s Instagram: “Already an accomplished contemporary artist by her early 20’s, Ayako specialised in bijin-ga, or portraits of beautiful people.

In this work, two women wear stylish Western-cut clothing with 'Marcelled' hair waves, made popular by a French hair stylist at the time. We see hairpins and a beaded bag by their side – a reflection of the latest Japanese fashions of the 1930s.

If you look even closer, you can see the beautiful use of vibrantly coloured traditional Japanese powdered pigments. Applied with water, the pigments often leave a 'puddling' water-stain effect after drying.”

Passage dans un village à 3 minutes de chez moi. Soudain , un panneau « chapelle ouverte ».
J’ai hurlé « la chapelle est ouverte ! » et, l’accident évité et malgré un tympan perdu, on a pu voir les sculptures et surtout les vitraux du 16e siècle
