Abstract
"In both Japan and China the creative modeling of a painting after a masterwork of the past is a well-established tradition. Copying paintings by one's teacher or other well-known masters was regarded as the preferred method for studying style; it also signified respect for the tradition the artist was following. Therefore, it was unusual for an artist to use as a model a painting produced totally outside his or her own school. However, Sakai Hoitsu, who is associated with the elegant and colorful Rimpa style of painting popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, modeled Farmer Feeding a Horse after a painting by the great literati master Yosa Buson (1716-1783). Recently purchased by the Museum of Art and Archaeology, Farmer Feeding a Horse is a singular example of Hoitsu's adaptation of a literati subject to the Rimpa style."--First paragraph.
