Download or read book Ukiyo e written by Frederick Harris and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of Japanese woodblock printing, known as ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world"), reflects the rich history and way of life in Japan hundreds of years ago. Ukiyo-e: The Art of the Japanese Print takes a thematic approach to this iconic Japanese art form, considering prints by subject matter: geisha and courtesans, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, erotica, nature, historical subjects and even images of foreigners in Japan. An artist himself, author Frederick Harris--a well-known American collector who lived in Japan for 50 years--pays special attention to the methods and materials employed in Japanese printmaking. The book traces the evolution of ukiyo-e from its origins in metropolitan Edo (Tokyo) art culture as black and white illustrations, to delicate two-color prints and multicolored designs. Advice to admirers on how to collect, care for, view and buy Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints rounds out this book of charming, carefully selected prints.

Download or read book Japanese Woodblock Prints in Miniature The Genre of Surimon written by Kurt Meissner and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1990-07-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With dozens of classic miniature Japanese woodblock prints and informative text, this Japanese art book is an essential for print collectors. Of the many genres of ukio-e, perhaps the least known is that of the diminutive surimono produced by Utamaro, Kiyonaga, Hokusai, Hiroshige, and others. They were the small, relatively little-known woodblock prints of the Tokugawa era, produced in smaller numbers and better quality than the ukiyo-e prints as we know them today. This beautifully illustrated book, a collector's item, is based on the author's private collection of more than sixty years. It is a unique introduction to the background and aesthetic appreciation of the rare and elegant art form. Included in the pages are notes on technique, terminology, surimono collecting and commissioning, as well as biographies of known surimono artists, and a detailed list of surimono catalogs and exhibitions. The text is supplemented by 33 color plates, Index Glossary, and Annotated Bibliography.

Download or read book Utamaro written by Edmond de Goncourt and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2008 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si la sensualité avait un nom, elle s'appellerait sans doute Utamaro. Soulignant avec délicatesse le jardin des plaisirs que fut un temps Edo, Utamaro, par la richesse des étoffes, les longs cous de cygnes féminins, les regards énigmatiques, évoque en quelques traits la volupté de tout l'Orient. Et si certaines scènes trahissent pudiquement les jeux amoureux, nombre de ses shungas sont univoques rappelant, dès lors, que l'amour au Japon est avant tout érotique. Puis, s'éloignant un temps de ces joies citadines, il explora avec autant de simplicité la sobriété de la nature : neige crépusculaire, lune évanescente... La finesse de sa touche révèle en quelques traits tout le raffinement de l'apprentissage de l'école Kano. Edmond de Goncourt en sublimant l'art de ce maître japonais nous ouvre les portes d'un art dont les codes et les nuances échappent à notre regard. Cet ouvrage initiatique, par ses magnifiques estampes, nous invite dans ce magnifique jardin d'Aphrodite à découvrir, ou à redécouvrir, l'art japonais.

Download or read book Ukiyo E written by Woldemar von Seidlitz and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’Ukiyo-e (« images du monde flottant ») est un courant artistique japonais qui naquit pendant la période prospère de l’Edo (1615-1868). Caractéristiques de cette période, les estampes sont l’œuvre collective d’un artiste, d’un graveur et d’un imprimeur. Développées en raison de leur faible coût grâce à l’évolution de la technique, elles représentent la vie quotidienne, les femmes, les acteurs du théâtre kabuki ou encore les lutteurs de sumo. Le paysage s’imposera ensuite comme l’un des sujets favoris. Moronobu, le fondateur, Shunsho, Utamaro, Hokusai ou encore Hiroshige sont les artistes les plus réputés de ce mouvement. En 1868, le Japon s’ouvre à l’Occident. La maîtrise de la technique, la finesse des œuvres et la précision graphique séduisent immédiatement l’Occident et influencent les plus grands tels les impressionnistes, Van Gogh ou Klimt. C’est la période dite du « Japonisme ». A travers une analyse thématique, Woldemar von Seidlitz et Dora Amsden soulignent en filigrane l’influence immense qu’eut ce mouvement sur toute la scène artistique occidentale. Ces magnifiques estampes représentant l’évolution de l’idéal féminin, la place des dieux, ou l’importance accordée au paysage, sont aussi le précieux témoignage d’une société aujourd’hui révolue.

Book excerpt: With Hokusai, Utamaro and Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is one of the great protagonists of ukiyo-e . With respect to Hokusai, whom he constantly compared himself to, since he was around thirty years younger, Hiroshige made landscape and nature the focus of his work by instilling in the viewer a sense of harmony, serenity and peace that, still today, is universally admired. In fact, thanks to these qualities he is one of the most praised artists and is considered the "master of nature". Hiroshige renders the human figure with quick, direct lines that at times call to mind manga and anime sketches, though simplified and essential. This monograph presents a selection of around 230 works from the most important series by Hiroshige, including views of famous places in the capital of Edo as well as in the farthest provinces, but also a body of work with the most admirable images portraying animals, flowers and insects plus original drawings and print plates that are still intact. This publication, which covers the Japanese master's entire career, is divided into eight themed sections that discuss the most important series in a thorough and illustrative way: Early Works; Travel Images; Flowers, Birds and the Moon; Views of Distant Places; View of the Oriental Capital; Hiroshige: Life and Work; Hiroshige and His Print Work: Contemporaries and the West.
