A Painting by Yoshitomo Nara


    "Harmless Kitty" (1994)
[from Exhibit Evokes Childhood Anxieties, Memories]

This painting makes me think of what Giorgio De Chirico, one of the few 20th Century painters I can stomach, would have painted had he been a children's book illustrator. Here's a great sampling of his work: Giorgio de Chirico - Olga's Gallery. My personal favorite is Mystery and Melancholy of a Street.
