ISBN10: 1929280173, ISBN13: 9781929280179, [publisher: The University of Michigan Press, Michigan] Hardcover Hardcover. This is the first monograph in English to address the art and philosophy of a group of painters regarded as seminal figures in the development of modern Japanese painting. Lead by the outspoken and widely published art critic Okakura Tenshin, a group of mostly Tokyo-based painters took on nothing less than the modernization of traditional Japanese painting. The painters who looked to Okakura Tenshin as their leader saw themselves not just as artists but as servants of the nation. Their task, they believed, was to give expression to the vitality of Meiji Japan while also helping to shape public opinion at home and abroad. Thus, they chose themes purposefully redolent with what they identified as Japanese cultural values; they experimented with painting techniques based on tradition yet revitalized through innovation. This book details how these artists came to this mission, as well as their training, their philosophical objectives, and their works. Addresses the art and philosophy of a group of Meiji painters regarded by many as seminal figures in the development of modern Japanese painting Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
