Presented in a style as stunning as the prints it celebrates, this
survey of Hiroshige tells the fascinating story of the last great
practitioner of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world."
Hiroshige is considered to be the tradition's most poetic artist
and his work had a marked influence on Western painting towards the
end of the 19th century. Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Ce
zanne, and James Whistler were inspired by Hiroshige's serene
depictions of the natural world. Arranged chronologically, this
book illustrates through text and magnificent reproductions
Hiroshige's youth and early career; his artistic development in the
genre of landscape prints; his depictions of Edo and the provinces;
the flower and bird prints; and his many popular books and
paintings. It discusses the historic and cultural environment in
which Hiroshige flourished and the many reasons his art continues
to be revered and imitated. Filled with 300 color reproductions,
and featuring a clamshell box and Japanese-style binding, this
volume is destined to become the definitive examination of
Hiroshige's oeuvre.
