[Free Shipping] Vivid Mountain Range Oil Painting under Bright Blue Sky - 有方敏郎 Arikata Toshiro (1922) - Japan - 1900-2000

Item Description: This is an original oil painting on board by Arikata Toshiro (有方敏郎, 1922– ), guaranteed authentic. The panoramic composition depicts a bold mountain range beneath a vivid blue sky, with a radiant red sun illuminating the scene. The fields and slopes are painted in vibrant tones of green, yellow, orange, and brown, with strong outlines emphasizing the rhythm of the landscape. On the left, autumnal foliage adds a dynamic balance to the sweeping mountain forms. Executed with heavy impasto and striking contrasts, this work reflects Arikata’s distinctive style—fusing vibrant color fields with symbolic natural imagery. The painting evokes both the grandeur of nature and a spiritual resonance, characteristic of the artist’s modernist approach to landscape.
