Chris, print is bad. Face is incompetent and in poor taste, hands are better,
but too western. Painful hybrid. Composition is dead.

Or, does everyone  concur with William:  "That's gotta be the worst Japanese
print I've ever seen, by far, far, far." ?

If so --- why ? Can anyone attempt to explain such a judgment ?

The artist, Yumeji Takehisa, seems to be both highly skilled as well as
innovative  (i.e. he came way before Gary Trudeau) -- and we have an image
that others, like myself, may rate as much better:

Why is that girl with the Gary Trudeau eyes so much worse ?

Such an explanation, whatever it might be, would be very important to the
study of aesthetics -- would it not ?
