Speaking To Your Heart (12 Photos)
From a hollow figure seated by Lake Geneva to a towering angel built from confiscated knives in England, these works show grief, burden, and quiet care. We visit a fragmented traveler in Venice, a face-in-hands mural in Gambettola, a mother bent under household weight in Torrelavega, a stone‑filled body in the U.S., a Rubens tribute in The Hague, and two hugging cabinets in Olsztyn.

"Ongoku," Chigusa Kitani, 1918.
Kitani (1895-1947) was a great nihonga painter (i.e. one who uses mineral pigments) and teacher who worked tirelessly to teach, nurture, and promote women artists in Japan.
This is a six-panel folding screen, painted on silk. A woman stands looking through a window at a boy inside, who appears to me as if he's not paying attention to her. This was painted just after the death of Kitani's younger brother, expressing her grief and how she misses him. The title comes from a song for the Buddhist Urabon festival, which is sung to welcome ancestral spirits visiting from the afterlife.
From the Osaka National Museum of Art.
