Asian Art

What Europe most strongly connects with East Asia in images are printed sheets: the wave before Mount Fuji, a downpour over a wooden bridge, beauties in patterned robes. Japanese colour woodblock prints arose from a division of labour between designer, block cutter and printer; from about 1765 polychrome printing made possible those glowing sheets that were called brocade pictures in Japan and found their first master in Suzuki Harunobu.

The great names of this woodblock art, called Ukiyo-e in Japan, stand for whole pictorial genres. With the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji in the early 1830s Katsushika Hokusai created the most famous series in the history of printmaking, Utagawa Hiroshige answered in 1833/34 with the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido. Kitagawa Utamaro had earlier refined the portrait of women, close-up and against shimmering mica grounds, while Utagawa Kuniyoshi filled sheet after sheet with warriors, ghosts and monsters. In the Meiji era from 1868 Tsukioka Yoshitoshi renewed the tradition one last time, and around 1900 Ohara Koson found a Western collecting public with prints of birds and flowers.

The woodblock print is, of course, only one of several pictorial worlds in this collection. Chinese painting joins ink, brush and script on scroll and album leaf, tangible here in Luo Ping, a painter from the circle that became known as the Eccentrics of Yangzhou. The Indian miniature, in turn, tells courtly and religious subjects on the smallest format. Space, surface and emptiness obey different laws in each; in direct juxtaposition this comes plainly to light.
