Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

內容簡介

內容簡介 歌川廣重名所江戶百景（1797-1858）日本傳統浮世繪最後大師之一 浮世繪的字面意思是漂浮世界的圖畫，是一種特殊的藝術流派，在17世紀至19世紀之間蓬勃發展，並逐漸成為西方世界對日本視覺美學的印象。在許多方面，浮世繪場景都體現了享樂主義的形象，尤其是江戶（現代東京）的特殊風情：美人、演員、摔角手、城市生活和自然景色。 歌川廣重的作品題材相當多元，其中最出名的、被喻為最終傑作的是名所江戶百景（1856-1858），描繪了這座城市四季的各種景象，從熙熙攘攘的購物街道到美麗的櫻花園。 本書採用日本傳統裝訂，收錄120 幅來自東京浮世繪太田紀念美術館的館藏，每幅都配有描述，讓讀者沉浸在這些美麗、充滿活力的景色中，這些作品成為日本主義的典範並激發了從文森‧梵谷到詹姆士‧惠斯勒等印象派、後印象派和新藝術派藝術家的靈感。Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning “pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world’s visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often represented the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo): beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (1856–1858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.This reprint, bound in the traditional Japanese fashion, is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.
