Japanese Woodblock Prints 1680-1980
Fiona Collins
This wide-ranging volume brings together over 75 significant woodblock prints from the collection of Worcester Art Museum, MA, spanning 300 years, from the 17th century through the 20th. Organised chronologically, it begins with rare, and in some cases unique, examples of Edo-period (1603-1868) woodblock ukiyo-e prints, many of which were sourced from the museum's seminal John Chandler Bancroft collection, donated in 1901. Encompassing a diverse range of sizes, materials, and subjects, among the renowned artists represented are Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Hiroshige. This volume then surveys later periods and artists associated with Japanese print output during the late 19th- and early 20th-century Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-1926) periods including many produced by artists working as part of the Shin-hanga 'new prints' and Sosaku-hanga 'creative print' movements.
