About Japanese Prints
Collected by Monet, collected and copied by Van Gogh , a huge influence on French Impressionism, Post Impressionism and Art Noveau, the influence and importance of Japanese Wood-block Prints in the history of modern European Art and Design cannot be overstated.
Artists such as Matisse could not have existed without the influence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese wood-block prints laid the way for radical change in European graphic arts and time has not diminished there beauty, power or importance.
Wood-block printing flourished in Japan from the 17th. century to the 19th. century. In an attempt to translate brush drawings in the Chinese style onto printed matter, 17th century Artists and Artisans created a new artform peculiar to Japan.
Ukiyo is the Floating World, the term ukiyo-e is understood as 'images of the floating world'. The Floating World was a world of pleasure and freedom from the cares of the world, a world of courtesans , tea houses and theatre.
