Ogata Korin

From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008 | Copyright information

Ogata Korin , 1658-1716, Japanese decorator and painter. He is renowned for his lacquer work and paintings on screens, decorated with bold designs and striking color contrasts, and his masterful compositional use of empty space. These works show the influence of two earlier artists, Koetsu and Sotatsu, but he departed from conventions, creating his own nearly abstract style. He also excelled as a teacher.
