Tokuhiro Kawai’s “Ode to Sleep,” on view in his solo show at Gyokuei Gallery in Tokyo through November 29, reflects what the artist says is “a profound empathy unique to cat lovers.” ✍️
The painting depicts a bearded man wearing a dark hood (perhaps a friar or monk), surrounded by about fifteen cats of various breeds and colors. Each cat and the man's head have a circular golden halo around them. The man appears to be asleep or resting, with his hand outstretched over a cat. The cats are in various poses of repose or observation, some lying on the man or on top of each other, against a dark green and brownish background.

Romare Bearden, Before the First Whistle.
The artwork "Before the First Whistle" (1973), a collage and lithograph by Romare Bearden, addresses the African American experience of migration and labor. The nighttime or early morning scene depicts two women: a woman in a dark dress and a mask over her eyes, holding an elongated object that appears to be a table leg or a spindle; and a man in profile, wearing dark work clothes accented by a red scarf, holding a transparent object in his hand. The title suggests the moment of separation before the factory or train whistle, which marks the start of work. The style is characteristic of Bearden, utilizing visual fragmentation and vibrant colors against a dark background.

Georges Braque, Still Life with Fruits and Stringed Instrument.
Georges Braque's 1938 oil painting, titled "Still Life with Fruits and Stringed Instrument," is in the Cubist style. The work displays a complex arrangement on a table covered with a pink tablecloth with leaf patterns. The objects are fragmented and overlapping, including a stringed instrument (resembling a mandolin or guitar), a centerpiece with fruit (pears and lemons are recognizable), vases, and glasses. The background is highly patterned, with areas in aquamarine, black, red, and ochre, using zigzags and other geometric shapes to create rhythmic movement. Light is concentrated in the pale center of the composition.
