Kuniyoshi

This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue presents a selection of Kuniyoshi's finest prints in high-quality reproductions. Along with such illustrious figures as Hokusai and Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi dominated 19th century essays in the popular genre of woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e ('pictures of the floating world'). A leading authority on Japanese art, Timothy Clark, explores Kuniyoshi's wide-ranging subject matter, from portraits of warriors and fashionable beauties to satirical themes and landscapes. Examples of Kuniyoshi's drawings highlight his approach to composition and provide a valuable insight into the creative process of this prolific and versatile artist. The catalogue has 300 pages with over 200 illustrations and measures 29.5 x 26.5cms.
