Ken Matsubara Japanese, 1948
H106 x W74 cm
The fire of a setting sun, articulated as a timeless imprint of the Kurobe River on Ken Matsubara’s memory, is made incandescent from the traditional iron oxide mineral bengara. The scene of nostalgic red burning on the horizon has been observed by countless eyes since time immemorial. The image is filled with passion, and yet a certain calm settles with the sinking sun.
