    I've been a painter for 40 years and started making large abstract expressionist paintings about ten years ago. I've been working on more brush control in the last few years and, very recently, "NARRATIVE." This search lead me to some history from art school - Ukiyo. This painting @ 1:20 is a perfect example. It's completely flat yet it has perspective. The following clips are what I and abstract expressionist call a 'static - all over' aesthetic where the eye tries to focus on a an important and just surrender to the painting as one thing. Incredible video subbed!

    As a long-time fan of Ukiyo-e, I really enjoyed this in-depth explanation. Your choice of images and storytelling is excellent!

    I'm in awe of this great art. 1:20 was a print made by Ando Hiroshige, great landscape artistry. I've been researching his life and art. 5:10 was his memorial print.

      I agree, that is a beautiful one, I also love his work. Do you know about purchasing woodblock prints? Trying to get one for a friend and don't know the first thing.

      あれは『芝弁天池』という川瀬巴水の作品です。調べると浮世絵ではなく新版画というものでした。
      もう自分で調べてご存知だったり、忘れてしまったかもしれませんが、私も貴方のように気になって調べたのでついでにコメントしておきます。

    Exactly what I was looking for. I like Japanese wood block printing, and certain European artists I think might complement it.

    2:33 - Who created this lovely print? So luminous. I love these old Japanese woodcut prints.
    If you visit the Kyoto Handicraft Center in Kyoto, Japan, they make real prints in front of you. Lots for sale, cheap.
    Please do not add music to any videos. Drowning out the human voice and a source of irritation, not peace.

      Japans more than just manga, manga is just one form of Japanese art, it's why Japanese people dislike anime fans from other countries you think the whole country is either anime or manga get a grip

    • @Vall-oi4ut
      @Vall-oi4ut Рік тому +17

      @Snow Forest when did I ever say manga was the only form of Japanese art? If you took the time to google it instead of immediately assuming that I'm being disrespectful or ignorant, you'd find that "inexpensive ukiyo-e printed books laid the groundwork for the manga industry in Japan". So why don't You get a grip and educate yourself.

    They did not need 20 blocks for 20 colours - any colours that were separated on the print could be printed at the same time on one block
