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:
“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“There was a deserted log camp here, apparently used the previous winter, with its “hovel” or barn for cattle.... It was a simple and strong fort erected against the cold, and suggested what valiant trencher work had been done there.”
