Description
Japanese Woodblock Prints by Andreas Marks The Japanese woodblock print is an art form that has captivated Western creativity for centuries. This unique phenomenon was born in 17th-century Japan and flourished until the early 20th century, producing some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art. From decadent ukiyo-e to the decline and later resurgence of prints, this volume presents exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. The images collected here reveal the four pillars of the woodblock print: beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions, alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans that populated the "floating world".
