Woman and Kitten by Shohei Takahash
Woman and Kitten by Shohei Takahashi
Shohei Takahashi was known for his landscapes and particularly for his prints of Mount Fuji. In 1923 about 500 of his works were destroyed in the fires subsequent to the Great Kanto Earthquake. Much of his later career was spent remaking those prints. Takahashi used many names throughout his time as an artist, such as: Shotei, Komei, and Hiroaki. Woman and Kitten, made in the period between 1929 and 1932, was likely inspired by the male association of femininity and sexuality with cats. Or, in other words, erotic fantasies as displayed on woodblock prints
