Hiroshige
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists of the Japanese ukiyo-e tradition. Ukiyo-e, which literally translates as "images of a floating world", was a very specific genre of woodblock print art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Illustrated subjects ranged from the bright lights and attractions of Edo (present-day Tokyo) to spectacular natural landscapes.
In the West, Hiroshige prints became synonymous with the Japonisme that prevailed throughout Europe and eventually defined the visual idea of Japan in the Western world. Because they could be mass-produced, ukiyo-e works were often used in prints for fans, postcards and editorial illustrations.
This style influenced Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, such as Vincent van Gogh and James McNeill Whistler, who were particularly inspired by Hiroshige landscapes.
This introductory book unfolds key images from Hiroshige's vivid catalogue of cherry blossoms, beauties, kabuki actors and busy shopping streets, introducing us to one of the greatest exponents of Asian art history.
