Description and Table of Contents

Description

The prolific Utagawa school is one of the most famous lineages of print artists in the history of Japanese woodblock prints. This 232-page groundbreaking catalogue features full-color images of more than 200 prints from the renowned Van Vleck Collection of Japanese Prints at the Chazen Museum of Art, University of Wisconsin-Madison. This collection - a number of which were once part of Frank Lloyd Wright's personal collection of Japanese prints - is particularly noteworthy for its strong holdings of landscape prints including rare designs incorporating western perspective by Utagawa Toyoharu. The book includes explicated entries for each work, artist biographies, and five scholarly essays about Japanese print culture and the Utagawa school.
