Hiroshige's Woodblock Masterpieces
About
Hiroshige’s woodblock masterpieces and the Japanese sensibility for snowpresented by Kathleen Olive
While in recent years we’ve become more familiar with the work of Japanese woodblock artist Katsushika Hokusai, the 19th-century prints of Utagawa Hiroshige remain less known. From conventional portraits of beautiful women and actors to series of landscapes, birds and flowers, Hiroshige’s career was distinguished by an unerring sense of line and the power of composition. Propelled by popular demand and enlivened by the subtle tweaks made possible by reprints, his prints demonstrate the refinement of Japanese tastes and the tradition of collaboration. With seasonality as our key, we focus on Hiroshige’s wintry scenes, exploring their appeal in the context of national aesthetics and geographies.
