This chapter is the text written by Mckenzie Holbrook for Summer Landscape. It is a minute long.
A founding member of the 1950s Toronto collective Painters Eleven, Kazuo Nakamura created artworks inspired by the New York abstract expressionist movement, as well as more figurative works. Nakamura viewed abstraction as a means to investigate and explore different modes of perceiving the natural world.
The gestural, minimal brush strokes and muted colours of Summer Landscape bleed into the white expanse of the paper. As an artist interested in scientific ways of knowing, Nakamura portrayed the natural world as he saw it, unveiling the many ways beauty can be perceived. Here, Nakamura leaves viewers to fill in details; his loose gestural approach lends a moody, cool atmosphere to Summer Landscape.
