Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Color-Prints of Old Japan What are they? Is a question often asked by those looking for the first time at a collection of Japanese prints. To say that they are chromoxylographs, is to give an answer strictly accurate. But as this is more concise than simple, it may be well to say in non-technical, popular language that they are prints in colors from engraved wooden blocks, as many blocks and impressions ordinarily being required as there are colors. In Europe towards the end of the eighteenth century similar prints were produced, but as their reception by the public was not such as to encourage their makers, there was no development of the art comparable with that in Japan in the same century.

But the few examples sold to Dutch merchants at the end of the eighteenth century seem entirely to have escaped the notice of the Old writers on the art Of engraving, or to have been so strongly in opposition to the principles of their faith as to be deliberately ignored. It was not until the second half of the nineteenth century was well advanced that certain artists - among whom it will suffice to name Degas and Monet - possessing Specimens, were not slow to appreciate their charm and even to bow, in a measure, to their influence.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Colour-Prints and Their Designers The social fabric in old Japan was one of sharp distinctions. At the upper end of the scale were the Emperor; the kuge, or court nobles; the daimyo, or lords of the two hundred and fifty-one provinces; and the samurai, or hereditary military men, from whom were recruited the officials, priests, and scholars. Between these and the lower classes was an almost immeasurable gulf. Highest among the heimen, or commoners, were the farmers. Below them were the artisans, and still lower were the merchants, innkeepers, servants, and the like; while lowest of all were the eta, or outcasts, a class comprising scavengers, butchers, leather-workers, and others engaged in what were considered degrading occupations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 150 Rare Japanese Color Prints: Collected by Professor John Getz, New York City; To Be Sold by His Order, Wednesday Evening, January Fourteenth at Eight-Fifteen It was not until near the close of the seventeenth century that the costly painted scrolls, emanating chiefly from artists of the Mikado's Court, were supplemented by something within the reach of the less wealthy classes. This field was opened up by l\ioronobu with his simple black prints that were sometimes colored by hand. Later came the Urushi-yé or lacquer prints, when lacquer was mixed with the pig ments to give added brilliancy. After these came the first true color prints, done by'masanobu in two colors (red and green), called beni - yé. These were improved upon by Harunobu, who designed his work for more than two color-blocks; under his guidance and that of Shunsho, the art of color printing was brought to perfection.

Download or read book A History of Japanese Colour Prints written by W. Von Seidlitz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Japanese Colour-Prints: With Illustrations in Colour and Black and White The first comprehensive survey of Japanese wood-engraving, Anderson's monograph in the Porqfolio, appeared in I895. The first attempt to write a history of this art was Strange's totally inadequate Japanese Illustration of 1897. Unfortunately, Strange had published before he was able to take advantage of the new light thrown upon his subject by Fenollosa, in his illuminating Catalogue of 1896, The Master: of Ukiyoye. The only remaining sources of information for the student were a number of scattered articles, monographs, exhibition catalogues, and sale catalogues, and it seemed to me that I might do a useful work by gathering together all this disjointed learning into a coherent whole. Japanese art has become an element in our European culture it supplies certain needs of our age, and makes distinctly for its progress. But in order to appreciate Japanese wood-engraving to the full, we must know the inter relation between the various artists, and the successive stages of development in their art; we also require a criterion by which to test individual essays, that we may not rest content with weak and imitative work when the best is within reach. A survey of Japanese wood-engraving which would serve these ends was the task I accordingly set before me.
