As Sam Gilliam is one of Washington’s most eminent working artists, it is fitting that the GW Collection has acquired a representative sampling of the artist’s iconic works. "Uguisu" is the largest work by Gilliam in the GW Collection. This challenging composition is highly experimental, combining textural painting and sculptural relief. The title is Japanese for bush warbler (Horornis diphone), and the streaks of bright yellow allude to the melodious bird and its call. The apparent gaps between the work’s individual panels may be compared to rests in musical compositions.
While strolling through the “Haru no Yama” at Jōnan-gū shrine, there were many Japanese bush warblers in the plum trees feasting on the blossoms. Can you spot them?
From WIKI: Japanese bush warbler (Horornis diphone), known in Japanese as uguisu (鶯). It is one of the favorite motifs of Japanese poetry, featured in many poems including those in Man'yōshū or Kokin Wakashū. In haiku and renga, uguisu is one of the kigo which signify the early spring. In poetry the bird is associated with the ume blossom, and appears with ume on hanafuda playing cards.
