DESCRIPTION:
Deborah Abernethy said Good Introduction to Japanese Prints. I have a theory about how one learns without benefit of a structured environment and an instructor. The first book on any subject should be one that covers the topic briefly with accurate information using proper terminology and lots of pictures to convey meaning and hold one's interest. From there, the books should be more detailed until the scholarly texts are easy to read. I would recommend "The Art of Jap. A good introductory work on Japanese woodblock prints. thankful1@worldnet.att.net George Aar I found this book to be rather like a sampler or a primer on the art of Japanese woodblock printing. The author covers all the basic aspects of Ukiyo-e,the history, techniques , artists , and the culture of Japan are all handled in a sort of broad overview. The work starts with the earliest woodblocks done and progresses to discussing the infuence Japanese prints had on the western artists of the late 19th ce. bronkbuster said The art of Japenes Prints. Absolutely beautiful. As an artist I am always looking for inspiration and I have found it in the choice of prints and the treatment of these prints on trace paper and in metalic form.
Through the 18th and 19th centuries this form dominated visual art in Japan and remains today as a major influence on the graphic arts.After a short introduction to the history and technique of this art form, the book features a stunning collection of beautifully reproduced examples of masterpieces of the genre -- accompanied by short biographies of the artists -- many of which are already familiar images the world over.. This book is a lavishly presented celebration of the classic Japanese art of woodblock prints
