Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of Japanese Screens: Decorated by the Old Masters; Held at the Galleries of the Royal Society of British Artists, January 26th to February 26th, 1914; Illustrated Catalogue With Notes and an Introduction In very ancient times it was customary to cover screens with silk or with cloth woven from some sort of vegetable fibre. In the Shoso-m collection a number have a cloth of ivy fibre, and others are covered with some preparation of bark. Later a more generally suitable material was used - an exceedingly stout and very tough paper, said to have been originally brought from Korea. This was almost universally employed in japan down to our own times. Of quite recent years, artists of the more naturalistic schools have reverted to the use of silk. Folding screens were almost always made in pairs, and the decorative scheme is designed accordingly, either to run through both members of the pair or to answer one to the other in idea and composition. At the same timeit was the ever-present problem of the painter to make each screen acomplete design in itself, so that it might be used alone; more, a screen was not considered well decorated unless any adjoining two or more leaves by themselves made a full and pleasing composition, since it was often desirable to use a screen partly open only. The extraordinary mastery of the science of composition possessed by the old japanese masters is witnessed by their unfailing success in this difficult problem. Gonse quently, although a collector will naturally prefer pairs of screens rather than single members, he loses nothing as regards decorative and pictorial completeness if he acquires a fine single screen. Some slight note of the differing schools of japanese painting may be useful in view of the references in the catalogue. The oldest screens now existing - the very few - were painted in the purely japanese - the Yamato or Tosa style. The methods of this school developed from those of the Kose and Takuma schools in the tenth and eleventh centuries. In the earlier periods of this ancient school's existence its members chose their secular subjects chiefly from scenes of war and of court life, though a great part of their energies were given to the production of religious pictures for the decoration of temples. From the fifteenth century forward, however, the range of subjects was widened, and many charming pictures of flowers and birds in particular issued from the studios of the Tosa school, which has endured to our own time.

Download or read book Whistler and Artistic Exchange between Japan and the West written by Ayako Ono and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ono examines cross-cultural artistic exchange between the West and Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Studies of Japonisme have been dominated by searching out relationships of influence between artworks–trying to identify which specific works influenced a particular artist. Ono argues that a more holistic understanding of 'spillover effects' is necessary in fully comprehending the nuances of these relationships. She bases this argument on documents and works of art in the context of globalisation, looking at the relationships between James McNeill Whistler and others with their contemporaries in the Japanese artistic and literary worlds. This was a more complex two-way exchange than is often appreciated, with Western artists taking inspiration from (to them) new Japanese styles, while Japanese artists and writers were trying to craft a 'modern', more western-influences style to reflect the modern nation of Japan emerging onto the world stage after centuries of relative isolation. A fascinating analysis of the role of globalisation and cultural exchange in the development of new and hybrid artforms, that will be essential reading for scholars of this fascinating period in international art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Learn to read and write, learn all you can, learn cunning, spare nobody and stop at nothing. … Do your devilmost … for the Jago’s got you!” Dicky Perrott, growing up in the notoriously criminal enclave of the Jago, listens and learns. Compelled by his family’s circumstances to provide for his mother and siblings, he sharpens his skills as a boy thief. Along the way, he navigates the Jago’s topsy-turvy ethics, vacillating between the rival messages of his mentors, a devious local fence and a righteous slum priest. Relentless in its bleakness and violence, A Child of the Jago captures the desperate struggle for survival in 1890s East London. This Broadview Edition provides the literary, socio-historical, and philosophical contexts vital to readers’ understanding and appreciation of the novel. Historical appendices include materials on eugenics, hooliganism, women’s sweated labor, cultural philanthropy, and the debate over the novel’s accuracy.

Book excerpt: "Folding screens, known as byōbu in Japanese, are treasures within any museum's collection and are beloved by the general public. This beautiful publication brings together the very finest screens from the world-renowned collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Saint Louis Art Museum. The featured works range from an extraordinary pair of landscapes by Sesson Shūkei, a Zen-Buddhist monk-painter of the late sixteenth century, to daring works from the late twentieth century. The first half of the Edo period is especially well represented, with a dozen screens from the seventeenth century by Kaihō Yūshō and Tosa Mitsuoki, among other masters. Beyond Golden Clouds also discusses the contemporary scene, with ten examples from the twentieth century proving the longevity of this art form and its currency among modern-day artists. Enlightening essays by important scholars in the field cover topics including the emergence of screens as an art form and a novel discussion of the relationship of Japanese screens to those made in other countries." --

Download or read book Historical Narratives of Global Modern Art written by Irina D. Costache and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversifying the current art historical scholarship, this edited volume presents the untold story of modern art by exposing global voices and perspectives excluded from the privileged and uncontested narrative of “isms.” This volume tells a worldwide story of art with expanded historical narratives of modernism. The chapters reflect on a wide range of issues, topics, and themes that have been marginalized or outright excluded from the canon of modern art. The goal of this book is to be a starting point for understanding modern art as a broad and inclusive field of study. The topics examine diverse formal expressions, innovative conceptual approaches, and various media used by artists around the world and forcefully acknowledge the connections between art, historical circumstances, political environments, and social issues such as gender, race, and social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, imperial and colonial history, modernism, and globalization.
