It’s nature to the nth degree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art special exhibit in the Japanese galleries of the so-called Rinpa school of art and design. Rinpa starts in the 17th century and carries through to this day. The nature is stylized. I think the special effect lies in the big bold color flows and fields. It’s a terrible thing to do to a dead deer, though. Isamu Noguchi’s The Water Stone, 1986 belongs neither to the exhibit nor to the style. It’s always there, and I wanted to include it.
