Minji Kitagawa's “Two Mexican Women Sitting” - A dialogue of souls woven together by lines
This copperplate engraving depicts more than just two women. It captures the breath of life and the quiet communion of souls that Minji Kitagawa, a master of modern Japanese art, observed in Mexico, which he called his spiritual home.
Take a look at the minimal yet eloquent lines. Kitagawa uniquely refined the Cubist techniques exemplified by Picasso, capturing the multifaceted essence of his subjects within a single painting. The faces, which seem to blend front and side profiles, and the composition where the women lean together, their arms intertwined—these are not mere stylistic experiments. They beautifully express the intimacy, empathy, and depth of time shared between the two women, transcending words.
The contrast between the straight lines of the left woman's ethnic-style clothing and the flowing, rich hair of the right woman. Although drawn with simple lines, each woman's individuality and inner character are richly expressed. Their gazes quietly return to the viewer, inviting us to imagine the stories of their lives.
This work is the crystallization of Kitagawa's deep love and respect for the people of Mexico. Among his works, known for their powerful celebration of life, this piece is particularly tranquil and introspective, its delicate lines revealing the artist's gentle gaze toward his subjects.
This work, one of only 100 limited edition pieces, bears the precious edition number 29. It brings intellectual refinement and the warmth of universal human love that transcends time to any space. This is a masterpiece that allows you to touch the depths of Kitagawa Minji's art. Please stand before it and listen to the quiet dialogue woven by the lines.
