Krátky popis
- This book sheds light on the often mysterious iconography in
Japanese prints- Lavishly illustrated with over 130 prints of women
and men, from the heyday of Japanese printmaking- A passionate
introduction to the intriguing art of Ukiyo-eWomen and men -
strong, proud, tragic or beautiful - from the heyday (1765-1865) of
Japanese printmaking are this book's subject. It seeks to dig below
the surface of the prints to describe the often subtle iconography
employed in these masterful creations by the most famous artists of
their time. It begins with Suzuki Harunobu's subdued and
introverted scenes of women seated on verandas. The book then moves
on to the spectacular 'big face' (okubi-e) portraits of prostitutes
and Kabuki actors by artists like Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai
Sharaku and Utagawa Kunimasa. Frail 'streetwalkers', forced by
circumstance into the lowest ranks of prostitution, are transformed
into elegant beauties, obscuring their tragic existence. The
spectacle of heroes from Japan's rich mythological and
pseudo-historical past crowd the printed sheet. Stern-faced actors
drawn by the confident hands of Utagawa Toyokuni and his pupil
Kunisada demonstrate the economy of line and powerful expression of
the woodblock medium. Each print is explored in the finest detail
in order to explain the riddles of Ukiyo-e: the intriguing and
captivating mode of visual expression that would have such a
profound influence on Western art.
