Quinten de Kort

This is the first painting in my series of three paintings depicting the life journey of the Japanese artist On Kawara. All three paintings are created using only the colors red, blue, black, and white, as these were the only colors On Kawara used in his work. On Kawara is renowned for his date-paintings, which are paintings featuring dates. In this painting, On Kawara is depicted in his studio, working on one of his date-paintings. Various date-paintings are also displayed on the wall.
