宗達画集

野々村宗達 画, 日本美術協会 編 · 1913 · 審美書院 · 36 pictures

A 1913 Japanese art collection of paintings by Nonomura Sotatsu, compiled by the Japan Art Association and published by Shinbi Shoin in Tokyo for collectors and art students. The pictures are monochrome reproductions of folding screens and hand scrolls, with the first showing a brush-drawn garden scene and figures, the second a bare ink landscape with dotted blossoms, and the last two showing repeated fans scattered across gold-clouded grounds. A designer could take from them the asymmetric placement of motifs, the open negative space around small clusters of ink, and the repeated fan as a pattern unit.
