高明的画家总能发现女性最美而不自知的瞬间。一身湖蓝叠浪纹的美人眼眸低垂，口衔衣袖，正露出两截皓腕，拧干巾帕中的余水。名为浴后的画总会让人浮想联翩，但深水并没有选择出浴的瞬间，大胆描绘外露的玉体。而是以一个优雅清新的角度，展现着女性洁净温婉的模样。“最是那一低头的温柔”，说的，应该也即是这个时候。

Ito Shinsui (1898-1972）
Ito Shinsui is best known for his Shin Hanga portraits, often three-quarters, of beautiful women. But he produced several memorable, and memorably tonal, landscapes during his career.
Born in 1898 in a fast-modernizing Japan, he started work as a factory worker before his obvious talent got him promoted to the design department. Later, his paintings caught the eye of Watanabe Shozaburo, who added him to his roster of Shin Hanga stars. From this point on, beautiful women were almost Shinsui’s entire repetoire, although during World War II he did travel to Indonesia to produce designs depicting life there. His remarkable life spanned a tumultuous time indeed, and he died in 1972.
