18,00 €

Leaflet slightly bumped at the lower edge in the fold, art print very good. Text in Japanese and English. - Chu-tanzaku - (Important Art Object) This composition of the graceful, expansive iris and the fluffy round shape of the hovering kingfisher affords a pleasing contrast of forms. The iris plant, with its tilted flower and oddly curving stem, appears to have been inspired by prints and illustrated copybooks of Katsushika Hokusai. But the sketchy treatment of the iris flower and the drawing of the leaves without outlines in the mokkotsu (boneless) style reveal that fresh aethetic sense peculiar to Hiroshige. The manner in which Hiroshige blended the influence of Hokusai with his own style, thus enhancing his art, brings added interest to this print.
