Japanese Woodblock Prints. 45th Ed. by Andreas Marks

The Japanese woodblock print showcased breathtaking landscapes, blush-inducing erotica, ghosts and demons that torment the living, and made sumo wrestlers and kabuki actors into rock stars. This condensed edition reveals the most exceptional prints from 16801938, drawing from the finest impressions of museums and private collections worldwide.

“A quarter-millennium’s worth of prints reveal the evolving tastes of Japanese artists over the ages, and the impact of this art form on global culture” * The New York Times *
“A dreamlike stroll through the most beautiful landscapes of this fantasized Japan.” * Vogue *
“I envy the Japanese for the enormous clarity that pervades their work... they draw a figure with a few well-chosen lines as if it were as effortless as buttoning up one’s waistcoat.” * Vincent van Gogh *
