KATSAKAWA SHUNSHO (Japan, ca. 1750-1821). "The kite." Ukiyo-e woodcut. Signed in plate. Presents some faults in the frame, dampness and dirt. Measurements: 24 x 35 cm; 66 x 59 cm (frame). The versatility and skill with the drawing of Katsukawa Shuncho is patent in this composition in which elegant ladies with kimono take the tea and observe their small one to play with a kite, that one of the servants prepares to make fly. It is an intimate and delicate image of a garden, characteristic of the work of this important Japanese artist. Katsukawa Shuncho was a Japanese artist of ukiyo-e, a genre of woodblock prints. His legacy encompasses various forms of artistic expression, standing out as an engraver, painter and illustrator. His work, developed during the Edo period, is distinguished by his technical mastery and his contribution to the depiction of actors, beautiful women and other traditional subjects. Katsukawa began his career as a disciple of Katsukawa Shunsh? but his style evolved under the influence of prominent artists of the time, including Torii Kiyonaga, Kubo Shunman and Kitagawa Utamaro. Katsukawa's reputation is highlighted in the Katsukawa school, where the rarity of his depictions of actors is appreciated, as well as his ability to create outstanding works in genres such as hashira-e, sanmai-tsuzuki and paintings of women. Katsukawa's artistic legacy is manifested in a series of remarkable works in which his skill in genres such as actor portraiture, consecutive images and depictions of nude women are evident, leaving a lasting impact on the history of ukiyo-e.

FRANCESCA WOODMAN (Denver, Colorado, 1958-New York, 1981). "Space2," Providence, Rhode Island, 1976. Gelatin silver print. Later printed by Igor Bakht, stamp on reverse. Signed by George and Betty Woodman, annotated n. 17 "For Igor Kind Ryards" in pencil. PE/FW credit stamp on verso. Provenance: Foster Glasgow private collection. Measurements: 13.5 x 13.5 cm (image); 26.2 x 21.5 cm (paper). Francesca Woodman made this series in Providence, where she was a student, after having spent some time in Rome (on a scholarship). In the "Space2" series, Woodman photographs herself interacting with architectural spaces, often dilapidated or abandoned. She uses these spaces not only as settings, but as active elements of the composition. Walls, doors and windows become an integral part of the images, interacting with her body in symbolic and visual ways. Woodman uses spaces that evoke a sense of abandonment that contrast with her physical presence, adding a layer of tension and vulnerability to the images. Francesca Woodman was an American photographer known for her intimate black and white self-portraits. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, the University of Fine Arts in Providence. Her photography is characterized primarily by the use of a single model, usually nude. It was usually her, but in various photographs she portrayed several of her friends. The body captured by the camera was usually in motion, due to long exposure times, or the image was not sharp. He also used other techniques, such as masking himself or trying to blend in with the objects or the environment itself. She was born into a family of artists. From an early age, together with her brother Charles Woodman, she was introduced to the art world by her parents, George Woodman and Betty Woodman, who were both visual artists. Today, they manage an archive of more than 800 images of their daughter, 120 of which have been exhibited or published. She belongs to the generation of avant-garde women of the 1970s who claimed their contribution and vision of the world, which also includes activist artists such as Cindy Sherman, Martha Rosler or Ana Mendieta.
