Monks (Pair) 

"Monks (Pair)" is a sumie ink painting created by the Japanese artist Kasumi Bunsho (1905-1998). This artwork exemplifies the artist's mastery of sumi-e, a technique emphasizing simplified forms and evocative brushstrokes. The two panels depict a procession of monks, their figures rendered with bold, sweeping strokes. The composition is minimalist, leaving much space for the viewer's imagination, reflecting the Zen Buddhist principles often associated with the artist's work.
