Produktbeschreibung

Following on the success of the catalogue raisonnA(c) a " "Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints" a " published by Hotei Publishing in 2003, "Visions of Japan: Kawase Hasuia (TM)s Masterpieces" brings together in a single volume one hundred of the artista (TM)s most celebrated prints. Fully illustrated, this publication includes annotated descriptions for each work, as well as two essays on Hasuia (TM)s life and work by Dr. Kendall H. Brown. Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) is considered the foremost Japanese landscape print artist of the 20th century, and he is most closely associated with the pioneering Shin-hanga ('New Prints') publisher Watanabe ShAzaburA (1885-1962). Hasuia (TM)s work became hugely popular, not only in his native Japan but also in the West, especially in the United States. His valuable contribution to the woodblock print medium was acknowledged in 1956, a year before his death, when he was honoured with the distinction of a ~Living National Treasurea (TM).
