Work
For most of his career, Kuroda painted in a style which, though basically Impressionistic, owed much to his academic training as well. Generally speaking, his plein-air works are more painterly, less finished, than his more formal compositions. Stylistically, he can be said to owe much to painters like Edouard Manet, as well as to the Barbizon School and his teacher Collin.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Some are “industrious,” and appear to love labor for its own sake, or perhaps because it keeps them out of worse mischief; to such I have at present nothing to say. Those who would not know what to do with more leisure than they now enjoy, I might advise to work twice as hard as they do,—work till they pay for themselves, and get their free papers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
