Baitei Kinga (8 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a complete set of the "Account of Painting" (or Kyosai Gadan / Gyosai Gadan) by the master painter Kyosai. Part one of the set focuses on the artist's thoughts on painting and artistic methods, while part two contains anecdotes about Kyosai and a record of his artistic development by his pupil, Baitei Kinga. One interesting feature of the set is the English captions in part one, as well as the illustrations in the styles of famous Japanese artists like Hokusai, Maruyama Okyo, Ogata Korin, Kuniyoshi, and so on, which were mimicked by Kyosai. According to a catalog record from the British Library, Kyosai's ability to reproduce different styles was both "remarkable and alarming". The set is a first edition and is highly illustrated with color woodblock prints of birds, flowers, beautiful women, devils, spirits, landscapes, animals, and more, all presented in their original slipcase.

Ils portent le nom deIchiyusai, un des premiers noms d'artiste de Kuniyoshi. La date est donc indicative et a été déterminée en fonction de divers critères, cependant, selon la préface, la réalisation des livres était en cours au moment de la mort de Kuniyoshi et le frontispice du second volume est l'oeuvre de Utagawa Sadahide. Une des dernières réalisations du maître dans laquelle il retrouve les éléments qui ont assuré sa notoriété. Volumes en accordéon, reliés par une couture. Etiquette de titre. Couverture verte. Le second volume avec un plat inférieur moucheté de taches blanchâtres, quelques unes sur le plat supérieur du tome 1. Au tome 2, 3 feuillets avec un coin replié. Bon état intérieur. Kunoyshifut l'un des derniers grands maîtres de l'EstampeJaponaise traditionnelle et l'un des grands peintres du Japon avec Hokusaï et Hiroshige, où il est justement célébré.En1811il est admis dans l'atelier de Toyokuni dont il devient l'un des principaux élèves. Il s'inscrivit alors dans la tradition de l'École Utagawa.Kuniyoshi demeure d'abord le dessinateur de personnages légendaires, de héros et de scènes souventétranges voir fantastiques.Le talent et la personnalité de Kuniyoshi ont forgé uneoeuvre de grande qualité,clairement distincte de celles de ses prédécesseurs et de ses contemporains. Comme Hokusaï, il resta toute sa vie un artiste à la recherche de nouveaux thèmes.Il fût un créateur, cherchant l'innovation utile au progrès de son art et à sa compréhension. L'artiste a bénéficié d'une grande rétrospective au Grand Palais de Paris en 2015. L'aspect novateur de ces estampes consiste en une accentuation marquée des éléments fantastiques,dans une atmosphère sombre avec des apparitions spectrales, et dans la figuration de tatouages, laquelle lancera une véritable tendance à l'époque. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] The rare first edition, complete in 2 volumes. The first volume contains a colored frontispiece and 13 double-page plates. The second volume has 12 double-page plates and a black frontispiece. All plates are in black and grey wash. The volumes are undated but note a location: Nihonbashi dori, the bridge avenue in Edo. They bear the name of Ichiyusai, one of Kuniyoshi's first artistic names. The date is therefore indicative and has been determined according to various criteria; however, according to the preface, the books were in production at the time of Kuniyoshi's death and the frontispiece of the second volume is the work of Utagawa Sadahide. One of the master's last works in which he rediscovers the elements that ensured his renown. Volumes in accordion format, bound by stitching. Title label. Green covers. The second volume with a lower cover speckled with whitish stains, a few on the upper cover of volume 1. In volume 2, 3 leaves with a folded corner. Good interior condition. Kuniyoshi was one of the last great masters of traditional Japanese printmaking and one of the great painters of Japan alongside Hokusai and Hiroshige, where he is justly celebrated. In 1811 he was admitted to Toyokuni's workshop, becoming one of his principal pupils. He thus inscribed himself in the tradition of the Utagawa School. Kuniyoshi remains primarily the draughtsman of legendary characters, heroes and often strange or even fantastical scenes. Kuniyoshi's talent and personality forged a work of great quality, clearly distinct from those of his predecessors and contemporaries. Like Hokusai, he remained throughout his life an artist in search of new themes. He was a creator, seeking innovation useful to the progr.

souple. Condition: Bon. 4 8vo vol. (25,4 x 17,7 cm), original japanese fukuro toji bindings under common blue cloth-clad slipcase, Published by Iwamoto Shun, Meiji 20 [ 1887 ], 39, 40, 36, 37 leaves Scarce copy, complete with the 4 volumes very well preserved under their original blue cloth-clad slipcase. Illustrated by Kyosai Kawanabe (1831-1889), these semi-autobiographical memoirs were dictated by the famous artist to his friend Uryu Masayasu. Such well preserved copy appears to be very uncommon (slipcase rubbed, part of an old label on the slipcase, the 4 volumes are very well preserved, with only slight foxing on edges). Rare exemplaire bien complet des quatre volumes, très bien conservés sous leur coffret d'origine en toile bleue. Illustrés par Kyosai Kawanabe (1831-1889), ces mémoires semi-autobiographiques furent dictés par le célèbre artiste à son ami Uryu Masayasu. Kyosai Kawanabe fut peut-être le dernier virtuose de la peinture japonaise traditionnelle. Il s'agit ici de son ouvrage le plus important, le "Kyosai Gadan" ou "Traité de Kyosai sur la peinture" qui alterne entre récit autobiographique et véritable manuel de peinture. Un exemplaire aussi bien conservé semble très peu commun (coffret frotté, partie d'une ancienne étiquette sur le coffret, les quatre volumes sont très bien conservés, avec seulement de légères rousseurs sur les tranches). Langue: Japonais.

Condition: very good. Tokyo, Man'yukai 1888 (Meiji 21). 18x13cm publisher's colour illustrated lithographed cloth backed boards; one double page illustration, smaller illustrations through the text. Natural browning of the cheap paper. An excellent copy. Yes, I bought this for the cover and condition without any idea of what it's about. Still don't but I think it's mocking speechification and spruiking which was as much a growth industry in Japan as the west.From what I can figure out Baitei Kinga never took enough time from writing to have a life.
