EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ruan Xiao er (Ritchitaisai Genshoji), from the series 'One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Popular Water Margin, '" takes us on a journey back to 19th century Asia. Created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the Edo period in Japan, this color woodblock print showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular artistic school at that time. The image features Ruan Xiao er, a character from Chinese literature known for his bravery and fighting skills. Standing on deck with a determined expression, he embodies the spirit of an outlaw hero. The vibrant blue hues of the water contrast beautifully with the brown tones of the boat and its surroundings. Kuniyoshi's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricate calligraphy in the cartouche to the meticulous depiction of each fisherman aboard, it transports us to another time and place. The composition skillfully captures both action and tranquility as we witness these fishermen engaged in their daily tasks while preparing for battle. As we admire this piece at an art gallery or institute like Chicago's Art Institute, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to Kuniyoshi's talent as well as his dedication to preserving Asian heritage through art. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into ancient China during the Northern Song Dynasty while showcasing Utagawa Kuniyoshi's exceptional skill as an artist.
