Abstraction

This form of Abstract art was created by Sesshu Toyo, and it was called Landscape in the Style of Yu-Chien. The creation date was not stated but the artist lived from 1420 to 1506 so it was in between those time periods. The artist created a image of what you might take as a tree, which would fit the abstract category until you look around? Then you realize there’s nothing else just a tree where in the real world you would see more of a surrounding patch of grass and soil even possibly another tree or too. Rarely do you ever see a stand alone tree for as far as the eyes could see.
