October's theme: Japanese Ghost Stories

Story in ALT
#arthistory #art #Japan #Ghosts

The full title of this woodblock print is “Onoe Kikugoro III as the Ghost of Oiwa in the Play Irohagana Yotsuya Kaidan”. Onoe Kikugoro III is the Kabuki actor in the performance depicted. The prints we have looked at so far this month have all been created by artists working in Edō (modern day Tokyo). Shunkōsai Hokushū, today’s artist, lived and worked in Osaka and was a leading artist of kamigata-e, Osaka style woodblock prints. Hokushū and the Osaka school focused almost exclusively on Kabuki actors in their printwork whereas the Edō school had many subjects (landscapes, warriors and beautiful women, for example). Hokushū’s style was refined and dramatic, as seen in this featured print of the Oiwa ghost story. Oiwa was the wife who was wronged by her husband Iemon, who first tried to kill her with a poisoned face cream and then with a hired assassin. She returned from the dead as a vengeful ghost and vigorously haunted Iemon into insanity. Hokushū has doubled-down in his print on Oiwa’s facial disfigurement from the poison. Oiwa’s white burial kimono has more detailed draping than what we saw in the Edō depictions of this tragic spirit. Hokushū and the Osaka school were known for their incorporation of metallic pigments in their designs and, in this version of Oiwa (the first of three that he created) he has used silver pigment for the inscription against the black background.

The Golden Horn by Tristram James Ellis, 1880-1890, Pera Museum (Istanbul, Türkiye)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Impressionism

In this painting featuring the Golden Horn, the artist brings together the bustle of daily ife on the sea with the silhouette of the city in the crimson light of the evening. The skyline of the Historical Peninsula in the background is defined by buildings such as the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Beyazit Tower, and the Rüstem Paşa Mosque. This is one of the two of his paintings depicting life at the Golden Horn in the exhibition and employs a similar vantage point. While the painting bears the artist's signature and the phrase "Istanbul", it is not dated.

कभी-कभी कबाड़ में पड़ी कोई पुरानी चीज ऐसी निकल आती है, जिसकी असली कीमत का अंदाजा उसे देखने वाले को भी नहीं होता। इंग्लैंड में ऐसा ही एक हैरान करने वाला मामला सामने आया है। यहां एक कबाड़ और पुरानी चीजों के सामान वाले यार्ड में करीब 300 साल पुरानी संगमरमर की मूर्ति मिली है।

Louis Wain's cats play out our social rituals in whiskers. His work deserves more than the familiar story about his illness.
