Review

By acquiring Eisen’s woodcuts, Vincent van Gogh added works by one of the masters of early-19th-century Japanese art to his collection. As is the case with many others, Van Gogh appears to have primarily fallen under the spell of Eisen’s bijinga: prints of beautiful women.It is possible that Van Gogh also admired the extremely delicate detailing and rich colours of their attire. Due to his close attention to all of the seductive details of his subjects’ appearance, Eisen came to be known as ‘the decadent’.

Utagawa Sadatora

Utagawa Zhenta was a disciple of the first generation Utagawa Kunisada. His common names are Yonosuke (or Sannosuke) and Gofu-tei. He is believed to be left-handed, as one piece was signed with a "left swipe". His painting period was from the Bunzheng era to the Tianbao era, and he painted illustrations for Gowaki, flowers and birds, beautiful women and actors.

Review

While looking for information, I found that he didn’t even know his birth year, and many of them came from his disciples. Although I didn’t know much about the artist himself, I really liked his paintings, the color matching, the pictures on the pictures. The composition, the meticulousness of the lines, are all worth savoring.


Summary

The term "Ukiyo" refers to the present world that is full of worries in the Buddhist concept. This term was first used in the Middle Ages in Japan. It refers to the idea of living in the present world and enjoying life to the fullest. This concept is reflected in the Ukiyo-e paintings which depict the joy and prosperity of the people during that time.

I really love the engraving-like style of Ukiyo-e and the totems of the nation. After seeing the works of Ukiyo-e artists, I can really understand the cultural background of Ukiyo-e style and learn a lot.

Enlightenment of Modern Architecture! 7 Pieces of Piet Mondrian's Neo-Plastic Art

An influential non-representational painter, Piet Mondrian’s art evolved over his lifetime into his own unique style, which he coined “neo-plasticism.” This art was not based on outside artistic influences or on typical techniques, but was instead Mondrian’s interpretation of his deeply felt philosophical beliefs. He subscribed to two sets of philosophical beliefs; theosophy, a religious mysticism which sought to help humanity achieve perfection, and anthroposophy, which held that the spiritual
