Suiō Genro

Suiō Genro is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

A Japanese painter of the late Edo period, Suiō Genro is known for bird-and-flower scenes that feel both sharp and serene. One such scroll, Wild Duck Kōan (1774), shows a single duck floating on ink-black water, its feathers caught in pale moonlight. Try swiping next to see how Genro balanced ink density against delicate white space, a hallmark of his brush tradition.
