""I heard the warning: /'Here is the tigers' kingdom""--Yosano
Tekkan For over one thousand years, the image of the tiger spread
from Buddhist temple carvings to other artistic forms across China
and Korea. The tiger became a favorite subject for Japanese
painters at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Beginning
with artists of the Kano and Rimpa schools and making an appearance
in the art of notable painters like Katsu Gyokushu, Matsui Genchu,
Kishi Ganku, and Maruyama Okyo, depictions of the tiger roamed
freely through scrolls and screens for centuries. And as the
creation of woodblock prints known as "nishiki-e "grew in
popularity in the late Edo period, tigers began to stalk through
the internationally respected designs of masters like Hokusai,
Kuniyoshi, Kunisada, Yoshitoshi, and Kyosai.
In "Tiger," Candice Black brings together one hundred classic
representations of this extraordinary predator from across the
arts, including depictions from prints, screens, scrolls,
woodblocks, and lithographs. With images dating from the late
sixteenth century to 1901, this gorgeous production faithfully
documents the work of dozens of prominent and lesser known Japanese
artists and presents the most comprehensive visual anthology of
this majestic beast ever available to an English language
audience.
