Summary
Printed and Painted: the Meiji Art of Ogata GekkÅ (1859-1920) : The Meiji Art of Ogata GekkÅ (1859-1920)
Printed and Painted: The Meiji Art of Ogata GekkÅ (1859-1920) is the first English-language publication to offer an in-depth look at the life and career of the Japanese painter and woodblock-print designer Ogata GekkÅ. This publication brings together 140 prints and paintings by GekkÅ, his students and his contemporaries such as Kawanabe KyÅsai, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and YÅshÅ« Chikanobu across five subject areas: history and legend; pictures of beautiful women; the natural world, rural and city views; literature and theatre; and modern wars and modern soldiers. The extensive introduction brings to life the character and art of GekkÅ, including a translation of a personal account by his accomplished student, the shin-hanga (New Print) artist Yamamura KÅka. An artist often overlooked in discussions of the art of the Meiji period (1868-1912), the publication seeks to highlight the vibrant printed and painted world of the era.
