Artist: YUMEJI, Takehisa (1884-1934)Title:Beauty of the Taisho EraSeries: Limited edition no. # 67/100Date:1999 (based on the artist's original design of c. 1910-20)Medium:Woodblock print.Size/Format:c. 19 1/2" x 23 3/4"Description:This work, entitled: 'Beauty of the Taisho Era', depicts a beauty in her thoughts drinking a cocktail with a long straw. - It is printed without keyblock lines to simulate the light, watercolor sketch look. - Takehisa YUMEJI became famous for his pictures (pintings, prints, books) expressing the particular feeling of the Taisho democracy, the Taisho romanticism. Next to classical depictions of young women wearing kimonos, we also find the type of 'modern' girl (moga) dressed in western clothes, self-conscious, but vulnerable at the same time. Also, the influence of the art deco style which found its way to Japan at the time is quite noticeable in Yumeji's work. - Due to the artist's untimely death at the age of forty-nine, much of his work was first published posthumously, as is the case with this print.,Condition:EXCELLENT impression, color and condition.)
