Description
Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889), described as The Intoxicated Demon of Painting - who could paint a 50-foot theatre curtain in four hours - was a serious student of earlier styles, producing meticulous scrolls of beauties and Buddhist deities. He was also a comic artist of crazy pictures and political satires.
