Couple behind a Standing Curtain c. 1765 - 1770

Editor: This lovely print, "Couple behind a Standing Curtain" by Suzuki Harunobu, it's so intimate and delicate, almost like a whispered secret. What strikes you most about it? Curator: It's the dance between concealment and revelation, isn't it? The curtain, the lovers partially hidden... It speaks to the art of suggestion, leaving so much to our imaginations, our own hidden selves. What do *you* feel it whispers to you? Editor: I guess it feels like, that behind the curtain, there’s a whole world, a private world, blooming like those cherry blossoms above. Thanks, I never would have thought about it that way. Curator: Art is like a hidden door, you just have to know where to push!
