Artist

Andō Baiho

Andō Baiho is a Nihonga artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Andō Baiho painted delicate six-panel folding screens in 19th-century Kyoto, using silk and mineral colors to capture nature scenes. One surviving example shows plum blossoms bending under spring snow. The work folds flat for storage, yet unfurls into a room-sized garden when opened.

Look for the fine ink lines and layered mineral washes that make the silk look like living moss. Tap Untitled to inspect the brushwork up close.
