简介

这是关于川濑巴水（1883–1957）的权威图录，呈现了近40年来他令人惊叹的木版画作品。川濑巴水是20世纪最重要、最多产的日本版画家之一，也是“新版画”（shin hanga）运动的主要创作者。新版画艺术家以受西方绘画影响的风格描绘传统主题，作品设计和谐均衡，采用最优质的纸张和颜料，以少量版数印制，是艺术家、出版商、雕版师与印刷师之间传统而成功的合作成果，近十年来在版画收藏界日益受到追捧。
巴水最初学习日本画，但在看到新版画同侪的作品后，于1919年转向木版画创作。出版商渡边庄三郎是第一个认识到他艺术天赋的人，巴水很快成为这位著名出版商旗下最受欢迎的艺术家。在其近四十年的职业生涯中，他创作了近千幅木版画。晚年，日本政府因其对日本文化的贡献，授予他“人间国宝”的称号。

Kawase Hasui (1883–1957) was one of the most important and prolific Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. He was one of the main creators of the shin hanga (‘new prints’) movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects in a style influenced by Western painting. Shin hanga prints are harmoniously balanced designs, printed on the highest quality paper using the finest pigments, and in small editions. They are the fruit of a traditional yet successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block cutter and printer and have become increasingly popular among collectors of Japanese prints in the last decade. Hasui began his artistic career studying Japanese painting. However, soon after seeing Shinsui's Eight Views of Lake Biwa series, Hasui turned to woodblock printing in 1919. Shozaburo Watanabe was the first to recognize his artistic genius, and Hasui Kawase soon became the most popular artist working for this prestigious publisher. He produced nearly a thousand woodcuts in a career that spanned almost forty years. Towards the end of his life, the Japanese government recognized him as a ‘Living National Treasure’ for his contribution to Japanese culture.
