In the first part of this video we’re going to discuss one of the most famous and popular Shin-hanga (New Print) artists Kawase Hasui. In the second part we’ll do a bit of a comparison between Hasui and my favorite landscape artist, Ando Hiroshige. In the early 1900’s Shin-hanga artists took a western influenced painterly approach which was quite different than the previous generations of Ukiyo-e artists. Hasui's style was introspective and reflective, often focusing on the tranquil and serene aspects of landscapes. He masterfully used light and shadow to create atmospheric effects. We will take a look at a couple of his most popular print series. Hiroshige is the OG of landscape prints and although there was a gap of over 40 years between their works, it's interesting (and fun) to do a comparison between the two.

great comparisons, thanks for gathering the information and images. Hasui compositions were so masterful, the way it draws me into the scene is engaging in a way that many other landscapes aren't

@MieGallery 3 месяца назад

Yes, they are more realistic than traditional ukiyo-e.

If Shin Hanga was baseball, Hasui would be Babe Ruth.

no argument here... :)

I prefer the Shin Hanga style prints, and Hasui is one of my favorite artists. But Hiroshige was also talented and prolific. Thanks for this video showing Hasui's watercolor paintings next to his woodblock prints, and contrasting Hiroshige and Hasui's interpretations of similar sites and scenes.

You're welcome. There's enough content out there for a boatload of videos on these artists, it's tough to pick what to include.

Mie Gallery has shown (I think) preliminary watercolors for Hasui's prints. Bear in mind that most Hasui watercolors were actually created after the print. He created these many years later to supplement his income.

I got the info on the watercolors from shinhanga.net/hasuiwc.htm which has some excellent articles and information.@@mokuhanga1

@@MieGallery All I can say is that much of the original ephemera is either held by Watanabe or was gifted by publisher or descendents to Edo-Tokyo or Ota City Museums.

@@MieGallery Thanks so much for the information and link to that great webpage. I am a painter, so I appreciate the shading and detail in Hasui's paintings. But I also love the expression of his art in the distinctive style and vibrant color of the final woodblock prints (as translated by the master carvers and printers).

I found your YT channel after visiting Amsterdam's Van Gogh museum and learning about his love of Japanese prints. I just visited the Seattle Art Museum to see the Hokusai: Influence and Inspiration exhibit and find myself even more impressed with Japanese prints.

Thanks Mike! I’d love to visit that museum in Amsterdam.

Thanks Stephen! I try to hit between 7-10 minutes. I don't know if people's attention spans go beyond that these days...I appreciate the support!

@oliverd9262 6 месяцев назад

Epic video! It would be really great for the search engine if this video included shin hanga / ukiyo-e in its title. Might it help with reach?

@MieGallery 6 месяцев назад

Good suggestion! Changes made.

Kawase is his surname/family name (because last name comes first in Japan). You're referring to him by his first/given name, Hasui.

@r.mtn.7477 4 месяца назад

...like referring to the great Spaniard as "Pablo" (vs. Picasso).

@@r.mtn.7477 Thanks for your correction, I do get mixed up sometimes.

@joshii32 6 месяцев назад

I don’t really know why, but for me something is off about Shin Hanga. I much prefer traditional Ukiyo-e.

@MieGallery 6 месяцев назад

(I'm with you) I appreciate the artistry that goes into Hasui's work and other Shin-hanga artists but my first love is ukiyo-e. I think we only have a handful of Shin-hanga prints on our website. There's just so much excellent ukiyo-e left to collect.
