Morning Glories 1909 - 1910

"Morning Glories" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka between 1909 and 1910. The print features a minimalist design of bamboo stalks with morning glories growing in front of them. The colors are subdued, with soft greens and browns, creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. The composition is simple, with the bamboo stalks running vertically through the center of the print and the morning glories emerging from behind them. Sekka, known for his mastery of woodblock printing, often used natural elements in his work, showcasing the beauty of nature in a delicate and elegant manner. This piece exemplifies his artistic approach, capturing the subtle essence of Japanese aesthetics.
