Jennifer (1997)

This piece is referencing a photograph taken by Baron Raimund von Stillfried. He was an Austrian explorer who documented his trips through Japan in photographs and writing at the end of the 1870’s. Rick Bartow took his first trip to Japan in 1994 which had a significant impact on him. He met many people who would become important in his life and continued to be inspired by Japanese culture and art throughout his career. One of those people was Toshiaki Yanagisawa, who owned a gallery that represented Bartow’s work.
