Download or read book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hokusai ́s 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1804 Vertical is something completely different from his 1801 and 1802 series and from the 1804 horizontal. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji 1832, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life ́s work. This series shows his development of the themes based on the two first series, 1801 and 1802, and a transition to his 1804 horizontal series, which again is a precursor to his sublime 36 Views of Mt Fuji. As the reader progresses through Hokusai ́s Tokaido series it will become evident how Hokusai develops the concept, develops the format, the themes and then mixes them with true genius. This series is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus only on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed.

Download or read book Kunisada 53 Stations of the Tokaido written by Cristina Berna and published by BOD GmbH DE. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 53 Stations of the Tokaido by Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 12 January 1865) is both a tour through the landscape of Japan and a cultural introduction. But first of all it is a fashion magazine about beautiful, young and stylish Japanese women in 1838. These young beauties were one of the subjects Kunisada excelled in. Kunisada show beautiful girls from all walks of life, explorers and adventurers, musicians, theater stars, imperial concubines, country girls, business women. They all have beauty and great fashion taste as the common denominator. His landscapes were a means of circumventing censorship especially of theater prints and pin-up prints of pretty ladies, bijin-ga. The work is probably one of the most romantic of all the Tokaido series.
Download or read book Intimate Landscapes written by Eliot Porter and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1979 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate Landscapes, an exhibition of fifty-five color photographs by Eliot Porter, is the first one-man exhibition of color photographs ever presented at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Works by Eliot Porter entered the Museum's collection as far back as 1949, when Georgia O'Keeffe presented from the Estate of Alfred Stieglitz an important collection of photographs assembled by Stieglitz himself. This collection included three early black and white prints by Eliot Porter, one of which is reproduced in this catalogue. All the photographs in the present exhibition brilliantly reflect the standards of excellence that are Eliot Porter's greatest contribution to the field of color photography. Upon seeing these photographs, the viewer is immediately struck by the artist's distinctly individual and intimate interpretation of the natural world.

Download or read book Hiroshige 53 Stations of the T kaid Ky ka written by Cristina Berna and published by Missy´s Clan. This book was released on with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader may already be acquainted with the Hoeidō series (1833-34) of The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō, author’s ISBN 978-1-956215-09-0. This was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. In this Kyōka series (a different publisher, 1838) we follow Hiroshige on the same journey from Edo, modern day Tokyo, to Kyoto, when he travelled the road to participate in an important procession in 1832. There were 53 post stations along this important road, apart from the start and terminus, in all 55 prints, which are all here in the order from Edo to Kyoto. The reader experiences the same journey with a completely different set of prints and can compare to the Hoeidō series. It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.
Download or read book Delacroix Drawings written by Ashley E. Dunn and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the master of French Romanticism for his energetic paintings, Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) was also a consummate draftsman. Yet his drawings remained largely unknown to the public during his lifetime. Beginning with a posthumous studio sale in 1864, however, these drawings have been sought after and widely appreciated for the incomparable insight they afford into the artist’s process. This handsome book, one of the few to explore the topic in depth, provides new insight into Delacroix’s drawing practice, paying particular attention to his methods and the ways in which he pushed the boundaries of the medium. It showcases a selection of more than one hundred drawings, many of which have been rarely seen, from Karen B. Cohen’s world-renowned collection. The works highlighted here range from finished watercolors to sketches, from copies after old masters and popular prints to drawings preparatory to many of Delacroix’s most important painting and print projects. Illustrated with a wealth of comparative images, the book examines the essential role of drawing in the artist’s formation and aesthetic practice, while two shorter texts trace the history of the collecting of Delacroix’s work at the Metropolitan Museum and present important new research on his materials and techniques. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Download or read book Hiroshige s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo written by Andreas Marks and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark book presenting the early "deluxe" versions of Hiroshige's Edo prints for the first time! Utagawa Hiroshige's unique landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), first published in the 1850s, is among the best-known collections of Japanese prints and was revolutionary in its day. Individual prints from this collection are regarded as among the finest works in all of Japanese art. In this series, Hiroshige captures 118 locations in and around Edo, today's Tokyo, during all four seasons and often from hitherto unknown and unique perspectives. These views were first printed in exquisite luxury versions, incorporating innovative woodblock printing features like color gradation. No complete set of the early versions exists today and this is the first book to present a complete set of the deluxe early printings, sourced from 32 different museums and private collections. Author Andreas Marks consulted 4,700 prints in order to compile this definitive guide to Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Marks presents the various printed versions along with reference images showing how and where Hiroshige sourced his ideas for each view—from previous books and illustrations. The result is a definitive guide to understanding the complexity of Hiroshige's great work as well as the dynamics of the Japanese print market during this period. Marks' introduction discusses the genesis of the series in the context of Japanese landscape art as well as Hiroshige's personal biography. The book then presents all 118 prints together with their source materials and a map showing the locations of each view, followed by a detailed appendix discussing the great color variations found in subsequent printings of the series.

Download or read book Hokusai 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1801 written by Cristina Berna and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hokusais 53 Stations of the Tokaido 1801 is something completely different. It is his first. And it is one of the first at all. It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long lifes work. It is different from much of Hokusais other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here. It is different from the many other well known 53 Stations of the Tokaido in that Hokusai does not focus on the landscape and the markers that Hiroshige and others showed. Instead Hokusai focus on the events, the interactions between the travellers, the tales that you will share with your friends when you get back home. It was a great and earlier contribution to the Tokaido literature.

Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of Inuit Art written by Richard C. Crandall and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological digs have turned up sculptures in Inuit lands that are thousands of years old, but "Inuit art" as it is known today only dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Early art was traditionally produced from soft materials such as whalebone, and tools and objects were also fashioned out of stone, bone, and ivory because these materials were readily available. The Inuit people are known not just for their sculpture but for their graphic art as well, the most prominent forms being lithographs and stonecuts. This work affords easy access to information to those interested in any type of Inuit art. There are annotated entries on over 3,761 articles, books, catalogues, government documents, and other publications.
