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:
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“The country needs the political work of women to-day as much as it has ever needed woman in any other work at any other time.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
