Perrée, J., Reigle Newland, A., Schaap, R.
Cloth with dust jacket 12 X10 inches
208 pp., over 200 color illus. + 500 small color & b/w
illus. (English publication ), condition NEW
Little is known about the artist Ohara Koson (1877-
1945), whose career bridged the era between the
decline of the full-color woodblock print (nishiki-e)
in the late 19th century/early 20th century and the
emergence of the Shin-hanga ("new print")
movement in the 1910s. An artist principally
marketed abroad, Koson’s bird-and-flower prints
met with great success in the United States and
Europe. He has only recently received attention in
his native Japan following the discovery of
important reference material including original
sketches and paintings for his prints.
"Crows, Cranes and Camellias: the natural world of
Ohara Koson 1877-1945" is the first publication in a
Western language to discuss his corpus of work,
and it has drawn upon the private Jan Perrée
Collection for inspiration. Including an overview of
Koson’s life and artistic career, augmented by a
checklist of the majority of his work, select seals
and signatures, this book is an invaluable source
for Koson collectors.
"Crows, Cranes & Camellias" accompanied an
exhibition of Koson's work held at the
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam in 2001.
The work of print artist Ohara Koson (1877-1945)
mainly consists of prints of birds and flowers,
characterised by their peaceful charm. This book
about Koson is the first Western publication of his
oeuvre of prints and paintings. It provides all
known information on the artist's life and work, his
teachers and publishers, facsimiles of his
signatures and seals and illustrations of an
estimated seventy-five percent of his total print
output. This title is the definitive reference book for
Koson collectors. Crows, cranes & camellias
accompanied an exhibition of Koson's work held at
the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam in 2001.
