Details
This seminal reference was the first publication to feature Sosaku Hanga (creative print) artists and trace the history of the movement. The author, Oliver Statler, was a member of the military and part of the U.S. occupation in post-war Japan. During his tour of duty, he became a fan and connoisseur of this genre of printmaking. Statler personally met the artists and witnessed, first hand, the experimental working techniques that are so characteristic of this innovative genre of printmaking.
This book features the top artists of the movement, which include Yamamoto Kanae, Onchi Koshiro, Hiratsuka Un'ichi, Munakata Shiko, Yamaguchi Gen, Sekino Jun'ichiro, and Saito Kiyoshi, and documents their highly individualistic work and unique production techniques. Statler went on to assemble one of the world’s top Sosaku Hanga collections and this book showcases dozens of the author’s prints with numerous color illustrations. For any fan of 20th-century creative Japanese prints, this book is an invaluable addition to add to the true collector’s library.
This hardcover book is suitable for the collector, as it has the benefit of history being an early printing produced in 1963, made even more scarce by its excellent overall condition.
