Japanese Prints
by Gabriele Fahr-Becker
From the dust cover:
The major section of the book consists of the 139 reproductions, grouped by
artist, each accompanied by a detailed, sensitive commentary. Street scenes,
lovers’ trysts, festivals, portraits of courtesans and actors, landscapes and
travelogues - these are the motifs of the ukiyo-e print. The dominant theme,
however, is woman’s beauty, the grace of her posture and attitudes, and the
decorative aesthetics of her flowing garments. Amongst the most celebrated of
the artists featured here are Utamaro, with his beautiful courtesans and
geishas; Sharaku, with his portraits of actors on the kabuki stage; Hokusai,
with his landscapes, among them the "36 Views of Mount Fuji";
and Hiroshige, with his "53 Stations on the Tokaido" and his
"100 Views of Famous Places in and around Edo".
