  • Schaftliches Klima Und Die Alte Frau Als Feindbild

    Schaftliches Klima Und Die Alte Frau Als Feindbild

    6 Zusammenfassung und Schluss: Populärkultur, gesell- schaftliches Klima und die alte Frau als Feindbild Wie ein extensiver Streifzug durch die großstädtische Populärkultur der späten Edo-Zeit gezeigt hat, tritt darin etwa im letzten Drittel der Edo-Zeit der Typus hässlicher alter Weiber mit zahlreichen bösen, ne- gativen Eigenschaften in augenfälliger Weise in Erscheinung. Unter Po- pulärkultur ist dabei die Dreiheit gemeint, die aus dem volkstümlichen Theater Kabuki besteht, den polychromen Holzschnitten, und der leich- ten Lektüre der illustrierten Romanheftchen (gōkan) und der – etwas gehobenere Ansprüche bedienenden – Lesebücher (yomihon), die mit einem beschränkten Satz von Schriftzeichen auskamen und der Unter- haltung und Erbauung vornehmlich jener Teile der Bevölkerung dien- ten, die nur eine einfache Bildung genossen hatten. Durch umherziehen- de Leihbuchhändler fand diese Art der Literatur auch über den groß- städtischen Raum hinaus bis hin in die kleineren Landflecken und Dör- fer hinein Verbreitung. Die drei Medien sind vielfach verschränkt: Holzschnitte dienen als Werbemittel für bzw. als Erinnerungsstücke an Theateraufführungen; Theaterprogramme sind reich illustrierte kleine Holzschnittbücher; die Stoffe der Theaterstücke werden in den zahllo- sen Groschenheften in endlosen Varianten recyclet; in der Heftchenlite- ratur spielt die Illustration eine maßgebliche Rolle, die Illustratoren sind dieselben wie die Zeichner der Vorlagen für die Holzschnitte; in einigen Fällen sind Illustratoren und Autoren identisch; Autoren steuern Kurz- texte als Legenden für Holzschnitte bei. Nachdrücklich muss der kommerzielle Aspekt dieser „Volkskultur“ betont werden. In allen genannten Sparten dominieren Auftragswerke, die oft in nur wenigen Tagen erledigt werden mussten. Die Theaterbe- treiber ließen neue Stücke schreiben oder alte umschreiben beziehungs- weise brachten Kombinationen von Stücken zur Aufführung, von wel- chen sie sich besonders viel Erfolg versprachen.
  • La Escuela Utagawa, Orgullo De Edo

    La Escuela Utagawa, Orgullo De Edo

    La escuela Utagawa, orgullo de Edo Daniel Sastre de la Vega UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE MADRID Toyohara Kunichika El rufián Ushiwaka Denji (por Sawamura Tosshō II), 1867 (cat. 72 b) 44 La escuela Utagawa consiguió una popularidad, pujanza y permanencia supe- riores al resto de escuelas de ukiyo-e. Ninguna contó entre sus filas, al mismo tiempo, con tres artistas en plenas facultades creativas, cada uno líder de su propia especialidad. En la escuela Utagawa coincidieron, simultáneamente, Ku- nisada –maestro de retratos de bellezas femeninas y actores de kabuki–, Kuni- yoshi –especialista en estampas de guerreros– y Hiroshige –el gran creador de paisajes–1. Si en el siglo XVII destacó la escuela encabezada por Hishikawa Moronobu (1618-1694) y en el XVIII las escuelas Torii y Katsukawa, en el siglo XIX el pro- tagonismo fue acaparado por los Utagawa. Su ascenso al reconocimiento públi- co no se manifestó con el fundador de la escuela sino con la segunda generación de discípulos, que iniciaron su carrera ascendente en los últimos cinco años del siglo XVIII. Los datos que aportan los expertos sobre la producción de la escue- la son reveladores de la importancia económica alcanzada por la maquinaria artística Utagawa. Solamente atendiendo al número de artistas que añadieron Utagawa a su nombre, o que recibieron de un maestro de la escuela algunos de los caracteres de su identidad artística –gagō–, la cifra supera el centenar2. Si se compara este dato con los veinticinco artistas adscritos a la escuela Katsukawa, la diferencia resulta considerable. El estilo característico de sus estampas conformaría en el siglo XIX la imagen tópica de bellezas femeninas o actores de teatro kabuki, y llevaría a la identifi- cación de sus artistas con la ciudad de Edo –por trabajar y vivir allí3–.
  • Utagawa Hiroshige

    Utagawa Hiroshige

    Utagawa Hiroshige Contemporary Landscapes Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese: 歌川 広重), also Andō Hiroshige (Japanese: 安藤 広重; 1797 – 12 October 1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his landscapes, such as the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō; and for his depictions of birds and flowers. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). The popular Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series by Hokusai was a strong influence on Hiroshige's choice of subject, though Hiroshige's approach was more poetic and ambient than Hokusai's bolder, more formal prints. For scholars and collectors, Hiroshige's death marked the beginning of a rapid decline in the ukiyo-e genre, especially in the face of the westernization that followed the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Hiroshige's work came to have a marked influence on Western painting towards the close of the 19th century as a part of the trend in Japonism. Western artists closely studied Hiroshige's compositions, and some, such as van Gogh, painted copies of Hiroshige's prints. Hiroshige was born in 1797 in the Yayosu Quay section of the Yaesu area in Edo (modern Tokyo).[1] He was of a samurai background,[1] and was the great-grandson of Tanaka Tokuemon, who held a position of power under the Tsugaru clan in the northern province of Mutsu.

    DE LOS GRABADOS XILOGRÁFICOS UKIYO-E DE LA UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Patricia GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ-MIGALLÓN El presente trabajo versa sobre la colección de estampas japonesas conservadas en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y mi objetivo principal es el acercamiento del arte de la es- tampación xilográfica tan ligada desde los orígenes de la imprenta a la escritura, además de dar a conocer la rica colección de este tipo de grabados japoneses que posee nuestra universidad. La colección se compone de 791 grabados xilográficos sobre madera de cerezo datados entre mediados del siglo XIX y principios del perio- do Meiji. Pertenecen a la escuela que se ha venido denominando ukiyo-e, escuela pictórica surgida en la ciu- dad de Edo (actual Tokyo) durante el periodo de su mismo nombre. El término se compone de tres ideogra- mas: uki, 浮, que aporta el significado de pasajero, algo que flota y se desvanece, yo, 世, que significa mundo, y e, 絵, que incorpora el sentido de representación o imagen. De esta combinación de ideogramas se despren- de la interpretación generalizada de “imágenes del mundo flotante”, cuya temática se relaciona con el carpe diem de Horacio, los artistas buscan expresar el carácter efímero de los placeres mundanos pero sin las con- notaciones negativas que se han desarrollado en Occidente debido a la influencia del cristianismo y la arrai- gada creencia en una vida más allá de la muerte. Esta escuela plasma los placeres de la vida, del aquí y el ahora, ilustrando una filosofía contraria al confucionismo y representando una verdadera apología del hedo- nismo.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION GALLERY JAPANESE “UKIYO-E” WOODCUT PRINTS This selection of Japanese woodcuts is all by “Ukiyo-e” artists who practiced during the sec­ ond half of the 19th century. “Ukiyo-e” refers to the “fleeting, floating” world of everyday life in Japan especially as experienced by those who serviced and patronized the licensed pleasure and entertainment districts found in all major cities of Japan. Such genre, which was depicted in paintings and books as well as woodcuts, de­ veloped in the mid 17th century in response to the need of the elite Samurai lords and the grow­ ing upper-middle class merchant to escape from the rigid confines of the ruling military dictator­ ship.

    1 College of Arts at the University of Canterbury Art History and Theory in the School of Humanities ARTH 690 Masters Thesis Title of Thesis: The Eight Views: from its origin in the Xiao and Xiang rivers to Hiroshige. Jennifer Baker Senior Supervisor: Dr. Richard Bullen (University of Canterbury). Co-Supervisor: Dr. Rachel Payne (University of Canterbury). Thesis Start Registration Date: 01 March 2009. Thesis Completion Date: 28 February 2010. Word Count: 30, 889. 2 Abstract This thesis focuses upon the artistic and poetic subject of the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang, from its origin in the Xiao-Xiang region in the Hunan province of China throughout its dispersal in East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan. Certain aesthetics and iconography were retained from the early examples, throughout the Eight Views’ transformation from the eleventh to the nineteenth century. The subject‟s close associations with poetry, atmospheric phenomena and the context of exile were reflected in the imagery of the painting and the accompanying verses. This thesis will discuss the historic, geographic and poetic origins of the Eight Views, along with a thorough investigation into the artistic styles which various East Asian artists employed in their own interpretations of the series. Furthermore, the dispersal and diaspora of the subject throughout East Asia are also investigated in this thesis. The work of Japanese artist Andô Hiroshige will serve as the concluding apogee. The Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang is an important East Asian artistic subject in both poetry and painting and contains many pervasive East Asian aesthetics.
