Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861)
This drawing looks like a Ronald Searle avant-la lettre
Today I saw an exhibition of Utagawa Kuniyoshi in The Royal Academy. I find no words to express HOW MUCH I LOVED THESE PRINTS! I felt in complete awe and I want to become Japanese to be able to draw with such grace and dexterity!
Can you imagine that this man was a contemporary of Goya, Beethoven, Marx and Darwin!!!!!!!! If you live in London I urge you not to miss it.

Lástima que esté muy lejos de Londres...
If you keep at it you'll be able to draw like a Japanese master before you're 90!
It is possible that if some japanese master lived long enough could end drawing like Ms. Chau.
i'll probably go tomorrow. love this stuff
You'll love it, Ellis!
