30 dez 1250 ano - Attack on Sanjo Palace

Descrição:

It is hard to imagine an image of war that matches the visceral and psychological power of the Night Attack on the Sanjô Palace
Designed to be unrolled in sections for close‐up viewing, it shows the basic features of this pictorial form: a bird’s eye view of action moves right‐to‐left (between a written introduction and conclusion).
Unfurled this work stands apart. Its now‐forgotten artist used the expressive potential of the long, narrow emaki format with such interpretive brilliance that he perhaps considered that on occasion it might be fully open.
