Like the shroud of Turin, this is the new religious reliquary.

Those boots ain't made for walkin !! lol

Interesting. Doesn't look like a print, must be a painting.

Just a matter of finding the right person who appreciates it.

Edo had a few hundred years to achieve all that, and it's slow due to its political situation with the Shogunate at the time, which to me stagnated under their rule. Meiji had a few decades to achieve change and in today's world, change is everything and stagnation is death.

Artwise, Edo did produced Utamaro, Hokusai, Kuniyoshi and Hiroshige considered the "golden" era, but Meiji produced Yoshitoshi, Kunichika, Chikanobu, Sosaku Hanga and Shin Hanga which is the "decadent" era. Both periods have their triumphs.

When comparing time spans, political changes and influences, I personally think Meiji (1898-1912) is far more interesting than Edo (1615-1898). I think of Edo as traditional and Meiji as progressive.

Love Sergio Suarez work. He had a show here in Vancouver at Pale Fire Projects.

People now realize that money talks, especially when the US is concerned. So fight fascism through the power of your wallet. It does make a difference.

I enjoy artwork on the periphery.

Thinking of Robert Raushenberg's erased de Kooning drawing. It's difficult but not impossible, and ironically leaves a much lasting impression me thinks !!

if it is indeed 1922, it's groundbreaking !! :-) ... but Wiki says 1992 so I can deal with that.
