Japan's Love for Impressionism. From Monet to Renoir

Prestel Pub, 2015. Hardcover. Pp: 255. At the end of the nineteenth century Japanese collectors began to put together Impressionist collections of outstanding quality. This development began with the industrialist Kojiro Matsukata, who was a close friend of Claude Monet. Today there are several distinguished collections that are shown in renowned public and private museums. A selection of exquisite works from these Japanese museums now returns exclusively to Europe. At the heart of the exhibition and the book are masterpieces by French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, among them Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Bonnard, Pissarro, Renoir, Signac, Sisley and van Gogh. Their paintings are complemented by a selection of works by Japanese artists from the period before 1920 that laid the foundation for modern, Western-inspired Japanese art. Together, they tell the story of the interaction and two-way artistic influence between Europe and Japan from a new perspective. ISBN: 9783791354965. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Katie Kitamura 256204

Japanese for Travellers. A journey through modern Japan

Penguin Adult, 2007. Paperback. Pp: 272. Can you be a stranger in your own country? A Japanese-American raised in California, 24-year-old Katie Kitamura returns to Japan to discover the country she left behind. Travelling across this foreign landscape, she visits middle-class gambling halls, fight stadiums and giant shopping meccas, luxury care homes and cramped apartments housing four generations under a single roof. And she wonders in which version of modern Japan she might have belonged. Defined by its adventurous youth culture, but with the fastest-ageing population in the world, renowned for its strict social code, but producing the black-comedy violence of the Battle Royale films, the Japan she discovers is an often contradictory land of Godzilla toys and war memorials, of futuristic manga characters and brightly coloured vending machines.

Japanese Woodblock Prints - 40

Taschen, 2022. Hardcover. From Edouard Manet`s portrait of naturalist writer Émile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh`s meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe�"•but often remains misunderstood as an �"œexotic�"� artifact that helped inspire Western creativity. The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art�"•including, as Karl Marx put it, that �"œall that is solid melts into air�"��"•were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century. This volume, derived from the original XXL monograph, lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. Ranging from the 17th-century development of decadent ukiyo-e, or �"œpictures of the floating world,�"� to the decline and later resurgence of prints in the early 20th century, the images collected in this edition make up an unmatched record not only of a unique genre in art history, but also of the shifting mores and cultural development of Japan. From mystical mountains to snowy passes, samurai swordsmen to sex workers in shop windows, each piece is explored as a work of art in its own right, revealing the stories and people behind the motifs. We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print�"•beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions�"•alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans�"•rock stars who populated the �"œfloating world�"� and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living�"•stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship. As part of our 40th anniversary series, this edition compiles the finest extant impressions from museums and private collections across the globe in a lightweight, accessible format, offering extensive descriptions to guide us through this frantic period in Japanese art history. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price.

Jean Lacouture 13831

Jesuits. A Multibiography

Counterpoint, 1995. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 550. In this magisterial account, Jean Lacouture portrays the sweep of five hundred years of world history, from the dungeons of the Vatican to the jungles of South America to the royal courts of Europe and Asia. Jesuits: A Multibiography is history with a human face, the fascinating tales of men of the spirit who participated in the actions and passions of the modern world, a "world bursting its seams." "Be all things to all men," said the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius of Loyola, to his followers. "Go and set the world ablaze!" The often picaresque story takes us to the Paris of Rabelais, where Ignatius, with a handful of his fellow students, formed what would become the Society of Jesus. We follow Francis Xavier to Japan and Matteo Ricci to China. We watch as the Society grows into Christendom's most powerful order, and as the "Black Legend" of a calculating, Machiavellian Jesuitry leads to its abolition in 1773 (it was restored forty years later). We see the great characters of history and culture - Pascal, Voltaire, Frederick the Great, Catherine the Great - play their parts. One of Jean Lacouture's most poignant portraits is of the twentieth century's most famous and beloved Jesuit, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a scientist-priest whose humanistic conclusions put him at odds with the Church. Lacouture's wide-ranging narrative illuminates Pope John XXIII's reforms and the Jesuit-inspired liberation theology movements in Central and South America. With the papacy of John Paul II, a riveting drama unfolds as the Jesuits are brought under new constraints. ISBN: 9781887178051. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

[Kakemono 掛�物 - Hanging Scroll] [Fireflies in Reeds]

1915. [Kakemono 掛ã�‘物 - Hanging Scroll] [Fireflies in Reeds] Kakemono 掛ã�‘物 (hanging scroll) has a stenciled ribbon within the stenciled "fabric" border at the top 43 x 48.7cm. The main design is 183 x 48.7cm and the stenciled "fabric" border at the bottom is 24 x 47.7cm. The scroll was created by a dyeing house in Kyoto and done on a single sheet of silk with remarkable yÅ«zen å�‹ç¦- dyeing and katazome 型染 stencil techniques that give the illusion of a painting mounted on fabric. It is generally thought that these scrolls were produced for or commissioned by preferred customers and given as gifts. The scroll depicts a scene that includes what was also called a kakemono 懸物. Here it refers to a fragrant, curative talisman ball made of leaves and flowers with aromatic herbs tucked inside it. The kakemono is hanging in the right hand corner of the scroll and decorated with ribbons, which was common, and large pink and red flowers. They were often hung in doorways and on verandas to ward off disease, hence the term "kakemono" (kake 懸, hanging and mono 物, thing). The stenciled border of reeds hides fireflies, and more are scattered across the image. One firefly is within the image of an uchiwa hand fan that is decorated with a cat batting at the illuminated bug; a lovely design-within-a-design. Kakemono 懸物 date to at least as far back as the 11th century and are mentioned in the classic Heian period work, The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari æº�æ°�物語) by Murasaki Shikibu ç´«å¼�部. There are allusions to chapters in the book in the portrayal of a cat and fireflies on the scroll. In Chapter 25, Fireflies (Hotaru è›�), Genji releases fireflies to momentarily illuminate the figure of a lovely woman with whom he is trying to match his son. In Chapter 34, New Herbs I (Wakana è‹¥è�oe), the distraction of a cat in the room causes a bamboo screen to be pushed open to reveal Genji's new wife, who is seen by the son of Genji's close friend and rival. In the Heian period, ladies were hidden away from men behind screens, blinds and fans, so the scene of a woman's face and figure being revealed is a memorable one. The Tale of Genji was so well known among educated circles that there was no need for a title or explanatory notes; the recipient, likely a patron of the arts, would immediately recognize the classical references. Housed in a wooden box 57.5 x 7.5 x 7.5cm which is in a modern box 60 x 8 x 8cm. Scant light foxing. Fine condition. A wonderful example of a stenciled scroll with hidden significance. .

Edward Kienholz 28075

Kienholz - Five Car Stud

2011. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 128. �"œFive Car Stud�"� was created by Edward Kienholz from 1969 to 1972, and first exhibited at documenta 5 in Kassel, curated by Harald Szeemann. The life-size tableau depicts four automobiles and a pickup truck, arranged on a dirt floor in a dark room with their headlights illuminating a shocking scene: a group of white men exacting their gruesome �"œpunishment�"� on an African American man. �"œFive Car Stud�"� is a harsh reminder of a shameful part of American history whose traces still linger. It was seen only in Germany in 1972 and has since remained in storage in Japan for almost 40 years. On the occasion of its first public showing in the United States, this volume examines an extraordinarily powerful artistic statement that has lost none of its potency. The catalogue presents essays by Roberto Ohrt and Thomas McEvilley, as well as an interview with American artist Paul McCarthy. - A life-sized reproduction of a scene of racial violence, Five Car Stud is considered one of the American artist`s most significant works. Despite the controversy and attention that it earned from critics right from its debut, the piece remained hidden from view in the storage of a Japanese collector for almost forty years. The artwork was only presented once again to the viewing public in 2011 and 2012 following restoration, first at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and then at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. Today the artwork is part of the Prada Collection, and is being shown for the first time ever in Italy, where it forms the central nucleus of an exhibition path that runs from the Sud gallery to the Deposito, and extends into an external space, presenting 25 artworks including sculpture, assemblages and tableaux realized by the Kienholzes from 1959 to 1994, as well as documentation material on the history and making of Five Car Stud. Five Car Stud catapults the viewer into a nightmarish situation, immersing him and her in a dimension �"“ either removed or forgotten �"“ of extreme violence. More than forty years after it was first created, the artwork`s expressive force, its powerful symbolic charge and the lucidity of the accusation against racial persecution retain their original strength.

Kuhaku & Other Accounts from Japan

Chin Music Press. Hardcover. Pp: 223. Travel past the temples and tourist sites and into the mind of modern Japan with this anthology, the literary equivalent of a knockdown pitch. Sixteen stories and essays by different writers destroy the many stereotypes about Japan. Say farewell to Madame Butterfly and the samurai ethic, and say hello to a complex nation that makes both a frustrating and fascinating home. This collection includes stories on everything from taking out the garbage to cheating on your spouse. It also has an irreverent and informative glossary of real-world Japanese terms, four-color artwork and a Zen whiskey priest who would make Graham Greene proud. When we set out to find stories for Kuhaku & Other Accounts from Japan, we knew what we wanted: candid tales of life in Japan that weren't trying to slice and dice the country and the culture into digestable nuggets. We weren't looking for Ph.D. dissertations, just smartly told tales from the street. Having lived in Japan for a long time, we realized these stories were everywhere. We tracked the writers down, asked permission to publish their tales, or more often, prodded them to put that story they had told us down on paper. Just about everybody responded favorably. Kuhaku's stories come from everywhere: tales told over beers in a pub, stories of corporate drudgery related during the lunch hour, doodlings on napkins at the local Starbucks and professional pieces produced on deadline.
