Ukiyo-E / The art of Japanese Woodblock prints
isbn: 9781840132274 in nette gelezen staat
The art of japanese woodblock printing from the 16th century to the 18th century is beautifully celebrated in this large-format volume japanese prints today enjoy greater popularity in the west, as well as at home, than ever before. Images such as hokusais great wave or hiroshiges sudden shower at ohashi bridge have assumed the same iconic status through widespread and instant recognizability as the mona lisa or the laughing cavalier. Yet these prints have been seen outside japan for little more than a century, and they belong to a very different cultural tradition from these european paintings. Although the history of japanese prints is usually traced from near the beginning of the edo period (1600-1868), as early as the thirteenth century woodblock prints had been used to illustrate buddhist texts. What differed about the prints of the seventeenth century was that they illustrated secular subjects or ukiyo, the floating world, which came to mean anything which gave pleasure in the transience of life, from the tea-house to the brothel, from sumo wrestlers to kabuki actors. Ukiyoe, or pictures of the floating world; were the mainstay of japanese printmaking for 250 years. By the mid-eighteenth century handcoloring gave way to the sophisticated fullcolor printing, using up to nine printed pigments, invented by suzuki harunobu (c1725-1760). Harunobu and his artistic heir, isoda koryūsai not only transformed the technical production of prints, they initiated the use of a much wider variety of sizes and subjects. Such developments set the scene for the golden age of japanese prints, the era of kitagawa utamaro (1753-1806). With his prints of bijin (beautiful women) he brought printmaking to new heights of technical virtuosity and artistic sensibility. The authors of ukiyo-e are scholars of international reputation. Together they tell the full story of japanese printmaking, both single-sheet prints and illustrated books and albums.
