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 Édo, 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 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 Hokusai written by Edmond de Goncourt and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katsushika Hokusai est sans doute l’artiste japonais le plus connu en Occident, et ce, depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle. Reflet de l’expression artistique d’une civilisation isolée, les œuvres de Hokusai, qui furent parmi les premières en provenance du Japon à émerger en Europe, influencèrent particulièrement les peintres impressionnistes et post-impressionnistes, tels que Vincent van Gogh. Considéré de son vivant comme un maître de l’estampe Ukiyo-e, Hokusai fascine par la variété et l’étendue de son Œuvre. Son travail, de près de quatre-vingt-dix ans, est présenté ici dans toute son importance et sa diversité.

Download or read book Impressions of Ukiyo E written by Woldemar von Seidlitz and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukiyo-e (‘pictures of the floating world’) is a branch of Japanese art which originated during the period of prosperity in Edo (1615-1868). Characteristic of this period, the prints are the collective work of an artist, an engraver, and a printer. Created on account of their low cost thanks to the progression of the technique, they represent daily life, women, actors of kabuki theatre, or even sumo wrestlers. Landscape would also later establish itself as a favourite subject. Moronobu, the founder, Shunsho, Utamaro, Hokusai, and even Hiroshige are the most widely-celebrated artists of the movement. In 1868, Japan opened up to the West. The masterful technique, the delicacy of the works, and their graphic precision immediately seduced the West and influenced greats such as the Impressionists, Van Gogh, and Klimt. This is known as the period of ‘Japonisme’. Through a thematic analysis, Woldemar von Seidlitz and Dora Amsden implicitly underline the immense influence which this movement had on the entire artistic scene of the West. These magnificent prints represent the evolution of the feminine ideal, the place of the Gods, and the importance accorded to landscape, and are also an invaluable witness to a society now long gone.

Download or read book Ukiyo e 120 illustrations written by Dora Amsden and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 253 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.

Download or read book Utamaro Hokusai Hiroshige written by Francesco Paolo Campione and published by Skira. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ukiyo-e masters are brought together in a volume that illustrates Japan's "floating world" between the 17th and 19th century. he so-called Edo period (1603-1868) was extremely productive for Japan from a historical and artistic standpoint; later its influence would extend beyond the archipelago, as far as the West, where it gave rise to a real passion for Japanese aesthetics and culture. The term ukiyo-e, which translates as "pictures of a floating world," refers to the woodblock colour prints that were first created in the Edo period by combining the talents of painters like Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige with the absolute mastery of block carvers and printers. These prints are the highest aesthetic expression of what could be called a "culture of pleasure," pervaded by the awareness that the beauties of life must be enjoyed to the full because they are bound to end. The book offers a chance to discover the world of Japanese ukiyo-e prints through over 300 works by some of the most important artists, and the themes that characterize them: from elegant female beauties to delicate flowers and birds, famous kabuki actors, valiant samurai, and even erotic subjects with their insouciant celebration of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Admiral Perry broke through Japan's isolation in 1854, the current of Japanese trade flowed west again, bearing with it the colored woodcuts of Hokusai, Hiroshige, and their contemporaries. Some of the most avid collectors of these prints were the French Impressionists and Nabis, who found in them new ways to treat their own prints. In The Great Wave, Colta Feller Ives, Curator in Charge, Department of Prints and Photographs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, recounts the phenomenal "cult of Japan" in late nineteenth-century France and reveals through direct comparisons its particular impact on the graphic work of Manet, Degas, Cassatt, Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin.
