Tadanori Yokoo,  drawings for Genka (“Illusory Flowers”), by Harumi Setouchi, 1974    

Liberale da Verona (Verona, c.1445 - 1530), The Chess Players and Scene from a Novella, c.1475, tempera on wood.

These two companion panel are from the front of a chest (cassone) and show two episodes from an as yet unidentified story, or novella. In one, a youth is smitten by a maiden who appears at a window. In the other, they engage in an erotically charged game of chess (she is about to lose). Both were common themes in the amatory literature of the Renaissance. The figures’ bleached blond, frizzy hair was the height of fashion in fifteenth-century Siena.
