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 woodblock print genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. Subjects ranged from the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), to spectacular natural landscapes. In the West, Hiroshige's prints became exemplary of the Japonisme that swept through Europe and defined the Western world's visual idea of Japan. Because they could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, greeting cards, and book illustrations. The style influenced Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Art Nouveau artists alike, with Vincent van Gogh and James Abbott McNeill Whistler both particularly inspired by Hiroshige's landscapes. This introductory book presents key images from Hiroshige's vibrant, vivid portfolio of blooming cherry trees, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, and busy shopping streets to introduce one of the greats of Asian art history.

Von blühenden Kirschbäumen und schönen FrauenDer Meister des japanischen UkiyoeUtagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) war einer der letzten großen Künstler in der Tradition des ukiyo-e. Dieses Genre des Farbholzschnitts, dessen Name wörtlich "Bilder der schwebenden Welt" bedeutet, erlebte zwischen dem 17. und dem 19. Jahrhundert seine Blütezeit. Ukiyo-e-Szenen reichen von den grellen Lichter und Vergnügungsstätten von Edo (dem heutigen Tokio) bis hin zu spektakulären Landschaften.Im Westen wurden Hiroshiges Drucke zu Musterbeispielen des Japonismus, der sich in Europa großer Beliebtheit erfreute, und prägten die visuelle Vorstellung des Westens von Japan maßgeblich. Da sie sich gut reproduzieren ließen, wurden Ukiyo-e-Bilder oft für Grußkarten oder Buchillustrationen verwendet. Der Stil beeinflusste Impressionisten, Post-Impressionisten und Künstler des Jugendstils gleichermaßen. Vincent van Gogh und James McNeill Whistler waren besonders von Hiroshiges Landschaften angetan.Dieser Band präsentiert Schlüsselwerke aus Hiroshiges reichhaltigem OEuvre von blühenden Kirschbäumen, schönen Frauen und Kabuki-Schauspielern bis zu belebten Einkaufsstraßen und stellt einen der großen Meister der asiatischen Kunstgeschichte vor.
