About the Item

"Retour d'un Banquet, Coree Seoul (After the Banquet, Soul, Korea) Japanese woodblock print by French artist Paul Jacoulet, circa 1951. Limited edition of 350 with fewer than 250 impressions printed. Information on the wood block print: Carver: Maeda Printer: Honda, Onodera. 'Korea Series' Signed in pencil bottom right with owl seal Grey wood frame with cream mat Measures: Image? 16.25" x 12.5", overall 24" x 20.5" Very good condition with wonderful color. Sorry for the shadows in some of the pictures. Paul Jacoulet (1896-1960) has an immensely abundant legacy of over 160 woodcut prints in addition to an excess of 3,000 watercolors and drawings. His works are a triumphant harmony of both Eastern and Western cultures that he was exposed to throughout his lifetime, recently acknowledged in an exhibition at the Bibliothe`que Nationale de France in 2011. Born in France, Jacoulet grew up in Tokyo after his father, a university professor, was hired by the Japanese government to teach French to young officials and aristocrats. Having been raised within an environment of education and culture, Jacoulet was fluent in Japanese language and sociability. He studied a wide range of Japanese traditional arts, including the art of woodblock printing, which he did so under the tutelage of Shizuya Fujikake from circa 1931. Jacoulet’s work takes its inspiration from his immediate surroundings in Japan, Korea and later the Pacific Islands, fused with a sense of Western ideals from his knowledge of art in France and other European countries. His prints almost exclusively depict people as their subject, predominantly either as portraits or incidents of daily life and are therefore fruitful sources of dress and social customs. He remained faithful to the traditional ‘ukiyo-e’ genre of Japanese woodcuts but diffuses into it new subject matter and the adoption of atypical colors, resulting in his vivid and colorful representations of people and scenes. Jacoulet’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the woodblock print as an art form was demonstrated by his pursuit of perfection in ensuring only high quality work was produced and his active involvement throughout the printing process. In 1931, Jacoulet created the Jacoulet Institute of Prints in order to self-publish his work and was one of the rare publishers who visibly credited the carvers and printers within the margins of the prints themselves. The greatest reflection of his triumphant synergy of East and West is perhaps his professional success within Japan itself, rendering Jacoulet’s work far more than merely westernized interpretations of the East.

Traditional Japanese Woodblock Print by Nishijima Katsuyuki

Located in Weesp, NL

Nishijima Katsuyuki (西島勝之) is a contemporary Japanese artist known for his woodblock prints, which often depict traditional Japanese architecture and landscapes. Born in 1945 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Nishijima studied at the Kyoto Prefecture Art School and began his career as a painter before transitioning to woodblock printing. His works are celebrated for their detailed and vibrant representation of the Japanese countryside and urban scenes. Nishijima's prints are recognized for their use of bold colors and intricate details. He employs traditional woodblock printing techniques, which involve carving the image into woodblocks, inking the blocks, and then pressing them onto paper. Each color in the print requires a separate block and precise alignment, or registration, to create the final image. The print's title is "Bunraku" and is one of Nishijima's works that showcase traditional Japanese buildings and scenes. The print features a detailed depiction of a traditional Japanese storefront with a noren...
