Book Synopsis Ukiyo-E 120 illustrations by : Dora Amsden
Download or read book Ukiyo-E 120 illustrations written by Dora Amsden and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 251 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 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 Yumeji Modern written by Nozomi Naoi and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hugely popular Japanese artist Takehisa Yumeji (1884–1934) is an emblematic figure of Japan’s rapidly changing cultural milieu in the early twentieth century. His graphic works include leftist and antiwar illustrations in socialist bulletins, wrenching portrayals of Tokyo after the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923, and fashionable images of beautiful women—referred to as “Yumeji-style beauties”—in books and magazines that targeted a new demographic of young female consumers. Yumeji also played a key role in the reinvention of the woodblock medium. As his art and designs proliferated in Japan’s mass media, Yumeji became a recognizable brand. In the first full-length English-language study of Yumeji’s work, Nozomi Naoi examines the artist’s role in shaping modern Japanese identity. Addressing his output from the start of his career in 1905 to the 1920s, when his productivity peaked, Yumeji Modern introduces for the first time in English translation a substantial body of Yumeji’s texts, including diary entries, poetry, essays, and commentary, alongside his illustrations. Naoi situates Yumeji’s graphic art within the emerging media landscape from 1900s through the 1910s, when novel forms of reprographic communication helped create new spaces of visual culture and image circulation. Yumeji’s legacy and his present-day following speak to the broader, ongoing implications of his work with respect to commercial art, visual culture, and print media.
