是真画帖

柴田是真 画 · [ ] · 65 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album of plant and object studies, credited to the painter Shibata Zeshin (柴田是真) with no publisher recorded. Its pages are bold black-and-white compositions of orchids, poppies, water plants and a vessel with flowering branches. A designer could take from them the strong silhouette, the open white ground left around dark masses, and the simplified outlines of botanical forms.
