Description :
Large watercolor (under glass) of Mt. Fuji by Yamada Baske (?-1934), a Japanese Impressionist trained in Western painting techniques. It was probably done sometime between 1910 and 1930 - signature and monogram lower left. Baske made a career in the US producing delicate misty hazy scenes of his native Japan, typically landscapes. He is listed in Davenport's Art Reference, and Falk's "Who Was Who in American Art" - in 2000 a major exhibition of his work was held at the Morikami Museum, Delray Beach, Florida. Image is about 26" x 19" (including frame 35 1/2" x 28 1/4"), and is in VERY GOOD condition - has some minor staining mostly where it touches the mat. The true quality of this work cannot be reproduced here, but two different pix are included to give some idea of it's beauty. Last framing (and mat) was done in 1939 in Baltimore, and refurbished in the 1980s - it will be shipped without the glass (which is not original) for safety reasons, and should go to a conservator for proper cleaning/maintenance. Basuke YAMADA - active late 19th C.-1930s Impressionist Basuke Yamada was an impressionist, Western-style painter. He is known for landscape prints made in 1930s. They were carved by Takano Shichinosuke, printed by Ono Tomisaburo and published by Fusui Gabo. The artist signed his art works with "Yamada Baske". He worked at the end of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. He probably had settled in the US. Notes: also Umasuke Yamada
