Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Nihongo was a Japanese artist. She was the first female artist among the Yoshida family artists.
She was the daughter of artist Шаблон:Lang and his wife Шаблон:Lang. She married artist Шаблон:Lang. Trained from an early age in the Western-style, she went on to create both naturalistic and abstract watercolors, oils, and woodblock prints. Her paintings of enlarged flower parts are sometimes, and perhaps incorrectly, associated with Georgia O'Keeffe’s work.
Her father and mother had a family of four girls, but to begin with no son was born to carry on Шаблон:Lang's work as a Western-style artist. As a result, Шаблон:Lang adopted his most talented student, Шаблон:Lang. A few years later a son was born, but Шаблон:Lang was so favored by his adoptive father that he retained his status as first son. After Шаблон:Lang died, Шаблон:Lang enrolled Шаблон:Lang in some of the best Western-style studios in Tokyo. As often happened in Japan, Шаблон:Lang then married Шаблон:Lang in 1907.
Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang traveled together to the United States in 1903-05. They held their first brother and sister exhibition in Providence, Rhode Island. Only 16 years old, Шаблон:Lang was an instant American art world phenomenon, admired for her beauty and exotic kimono, but even more so for her graceful watercolor scenes of Japan. Shows in other East Coast cities followed. She sold almost as many pieces as Шаблон:Lang on that trip and on subsequent trips in 1907 and 1923-25. Each trip included travel around the world on the way back to Tokyo. She then entered Bunten exhibitions and received honors. She exhibited with Шаблон:Lang and helped establish the Шаблон:Lang (Vermilion Leaf Society), the art society for women.
Шаблон:Lang's first-born child, a girl, died in 1911. Overcome with grief, Шаблон:Lang stopped painting for almost 10 years. In 1911, her first son, Шаблон:Lang was born, but within a year he had contracted polio, leaving him partially paralyzed. A second son, Шаблон:Lang, was born in 1926. Both sons became artists. After Шаблон:Lang died in 1950, Шаблон:Lang lived first with Шаблон:Lang's family and then with Шаблон:Lang's family. Influenced by Шаблон:Lang's abstract art, she began in 1949 to create abstract flower paintings in oils, watercolors, and in 1953 in woodblock prints.
Шаблон:Lang published her autobiography, Шаблон:Lang (Vermilion Leaf Record), in 1978. In 1980 she held her first solo exhibition in Tokyo. She died peacefully in Шаблон:Lang's home in 1987, just days short of her 100th birthday. A very important large and scholarly exhibit of her work was mounted by the Fuchu Art Museum near Tokyo in 2002, where her treatment of light was seen as clearly differentiating her work from her husband's. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts featured her work in its 2002 exhibit and catalogue, “A Japanese Legacy: Four Generations of Шаблон:Lang Family Artists.”
