Additional Images
Literature:
Iris Nowell, Painters Eleven: The Wild Ones of Canadian Art, Douglas & McIntyre, Toronto, 2010, page 301, and page 304 for a closely related work, Still Life Two Horizons, 1966, reproduced in color.
Note:
Nakamura considered themes over long stretches of time, pursuing “a further purity of expression,” and as a result repetition is not at all uncommon in his work. Reversed Images belongs to a series the artist was developing in the mid-1960s in which great beauty can be found beneath the apparent simplicity. The elegance and tranquility of design exhibited here encourage close viewing.
