Landscapes in Summer and Winter, Edo period (1615–1868), 18th century, Japan, Hanging scroll; ink on silk, 38 3/4 x 18 3/16 in. (98.4 x 46.2 cm), Paintings, Ike Taiga (Japanese, 1723–1776), These paired images function as contrasting emblems of winter and summer. Fiat horizontal lines suggest quiet, dormant winter and the forlorn boat elicits a shiver of sympathy from the viewer. Summer, on the other hand, is filled with color and cheer; the forms of rocks and foliage seem to tumble over one another, giving the whole mountain a sense of growth and energy
