Few of Saeki's paintings seem as rapidly executed and as abbreviated as White street. The angled curbs are drawn with single long strokes. Only the lines of the shutter slats seem still in contrast to the other agitated lines and cater-cornered panels of pigment. The single street lamp is strangely bright, drawing the viewer into the scene and silent mood.
