OTTMAN exhibited his paintings at various exhibitions in Brussels and Paris during the early 20th century, including Salon des Artistes Indépendants and Salon d'Automne. In his initial works, he painted landscapes with modern themes favored by Impressionists. He is known to have been strongly influenced by Renoir throughout his life, which is evident in the brightly colored sensual female image in this piece. Additionally, the figure's background with an eastern-style folding screen indicates his interest in Japanese art.
オットマンは、サロン・デ・ザンデパンダンやサロン・ドートンヌなど20世紀前半の様々な展覧会に出品し、ブリュッセルとパリを拠点に活動した画家です。初期には印象派が好んでとりあげた近代的なモチーフの風景画を描きました。ルノワールに生涯深く傾倒していたといわれ、本作品のように明るい色調で描いた官能的な女性像にはその強い影響がみられます。また、人物の背景に東洋的な屏風を描き込んでいる点に、日本美術への関心も窺えます。 OTTMAN was based in Brussels and Paris and exhibited his paintings at a variety of exhibitions in the early 20th century, such as Salon des Artistes Indépendants and Salon d'Automne.

View the original at Japan Search →A craft cannot call itself traditional by taste or reputation. Article 2 sets five conditions, all of which must hold: it is used mainly in daily life, the main part of its making is by hand, it is made by traditional techniques, it is made chiefly from materials traditionally used, and a not-small number of people in a defined area still make it. The designation names the techniques, the materials and the region.
The cool part. Two conditions do quiet work. The first is daily use, so a technique kept alive only for display does not qualify. The fifth is the number of makers: the law will not protect a single surviving genius, because one person is a biography and not an industry. And because the region is written into the designation, the craft is legally attached to a place and cannot move.
