Description: Marvelous example of Hiroshige’s “kacho-e” art!Ando Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858) was a master Japanese print maker and a driving artistic force during the Edo period, an exciting era in Japanese art. His style is known for its refined color sense, economy of composition and delicate, never-sentimental renderings. Most works of ukiyo-e explore the typical genres of entertainment and pleasure, featuring kabuki actors, the Yoshiwara district, depictions of courtesans and beautiful people, and representations of famous places and travel. Nevertheless, another rich theme found within the culture of the “floating world” is bird-and-flower prints or kacho-e. The three artists most celebrated for their kacho-e are Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and Kitagawa Utamaro (1750-1806).Marvelous pillar image of a rooster and morning glories beside an umbrella. The original of this image was first published c. 1830-1835. This reprint is from the late 20th century. Would make an eye-catching display. Ando Hiroshige’s masterworks are in the collections of many of the world’s great museums. Among them are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; the British Museum, London; the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia; and the Tokyo National Museum.
