Further Background:
BE@RBRICKs are a form of collectible toy that resembles a cross between LEGO and well, a bear. These block-style figurines boast teddy bear-style heads that have become an integral pillar of the collectible toy scene. In fact, it wouldn’t be so far-fetched to say that it almost single-handedly carved out the fad of toy collecting in modern times, treading the very fine line between toy and art. Since its inception, BE@RBRICKs have become one of the most recognizable characters in the world, and some of the most sought after.
Tōshūsai Sharaku (18th century Japan) is known as one of the most original Japanese artists of the Ukiyo-e movement (paintings and prints of the “floating world”).
Tōshūsai is said to have been a nō actor in Awa province (now Tokushima prefecture). His extant works consist of fewer than 160 prints, chiefly of actors. These prints of actors, especially the okubi-e, or half-length portraits, are striking for their intensity and for an exaggeration verging on caricature. Unlike other Ukiyo-e artists, Sharaku did not make idealized portraits but tried to penetrate the actors’ characters and to show them in poses revealing their ways of acting. Even the most handsome actor of the time, Matsumoto Yonesaburō, who played female roles, appears in Sharaku’s portrait as a thick-necked, ungainly male.
Sharaku was not a very popular artist; only after his work became highly regarded by Westerners was he fully recognized by the Japanese. He used a mica ground with black sheen for his portraits until the practice was prohibited by the government.
