Book Description
In the winter of 1886-87, during his stay in Paris, Vincent van Gogh bought 660 Japanese prints at the art gallery of Siegfried Bing. His aim was to start dealing in them, but the exhibition he organized in the café-restaurant Le Tambourin was a total failure. However, he was now able to study his collection at ease and in close-up, and he gradually became captivated by their colourful, cheerful and unusual imagery. When he left for Arles, he took some prints with him, but the core remained in Paris with his brother Theo. Although some prints were later given away, the collection did not disperse. This book reveals new analyses of the collection, now held in the Van Gogh Museum, given as a long-term loan from the Vincent van Gogh Foundation. The authors delve into its history, and the role the prints played in Van Gogh's creative output. The book is illustrated with over 100 striking highlights from the collection.

Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of Prints and Books, Illustrating the History of Engraving in Japan: Exhibited in 1888 It is well known that block printing was in use amongst the Chinese many centuries before its adoption in Europe, and as the same mechanical processes suffice for pictorial engraving, it might be inferred, and correctly, that in this respect also we have been in the rear of the Middle Kingdom. Not only was it so, but other Turanian nations, such as the Koreans and Japanese, have been able to take advantage of the labours of their neigh bours to anticipate us in the possession of an agency that in our hands has led the way to mighty strides of education.

Tattoos in Japanese Prints
Author: Sarah E. ThompsonPublisher: Museum of Fine Arts Boston
ISBN: 9780878468461
Category : ART
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Reproduces ukiyo-e prints from the incomparable collection of Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Many tattoo connoisseurs consider the Japanese tradition to be the finest in the world for its detail, complexity, and compositional skill. Its style and subject matter are drawn from the visual treasure trove of Japanese popular culture, in particular the colour woodblock prints of the early nineteenth century known as ukiyo-e. This book tells the fascinating story of how ukiyo-e first inspired tattoo artists as the pictorial tradition of tattooing in Japan was just beginning. It explores the Japanese tattoo's evolving meanings, from symbol of devotion to punishment and even to crime, and reveals the tales behind specific motifs. With lush, colourful images of flowers blooming on the arm of a thief, sea monsters coiling across the back of a hero, and legendary warriors battling on the chests of actors, the tattoos in these Japanese prints can offer the same vivid inspiration today as they did two hundred years ago.
