snow at inokashira

Description

Hand-cut art wooden jigsaw puzzle of circa 900 pieces - Made in France and environmentally friendly.

This print by Hasui Kawase depicts the Benten Shrine in Inokashira Park under a blanket of snow. The artist adopts an original, almost aerial, low-angle view, giving an unusual look on the subject of the work. The bright red color of the shrine stands out against the wintry white, presenting a modern composition so typical of the shin-hanga movement.

The shapes of the puzzle pieces serve to enhance the shape of the shrine - the architecture is distinguished by its angular lines, the water elements stretch out away from the focal point of the building, while the snow and sky have gently rounded features. Each nuance of the piece is slowly revealed as you put the puzzle together - the deep blue of the water, the bright red of the shrine and the luminous white of the snow-covered surroundings.

Size: 14,2x19,7" approx.
