2nd edition.
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) is considered the foremost
Japanese landscape print artist of the 20th century. His
work is characterized by a fascination with light, climatic
conditions and tranquility. His oeuvre consists of over 700
designs of which the largest proportion was produced for
the initiator of the Shin hanga (‘new print’) movement,
Watanabe Shôzaburô. This publication illustrates his
oeuvre in color including all the designs he produced for
other publishers. The illustrations are predominantly taken
from the two largest collections of Hasui prints in the world:
the collections of Robert O. Muller, now housed in the
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of Art, and the Watanabe family.
This bilingual publication includes essays by Kendall Brown
and Shôichirô Watanabe, facsimiles of seals and signatures
and a bibliography.
Originally published in 2003, this groundbreaking
publication on the life and work of Kawase Hasui is now
available with a DVD, which includes a 1950s film on the
artist and the production of one of his designs, a process
book displaying all stages in the creation of a Japanese
woodblock print, and designs which have been discovered
in 2003
