EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Zhang Xiao and Zhang Li (Cho Ko, Cho Rei), from the series 'Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety in China'" by Utagawa Kuniyoshi takes us back to 19th-century Asia. This remarkable artwork, created during the Edo period in Japan, showcases the artist's mastery of color woodblock printing. In this scene, we witness two young boys named Zhang Xiao and Zhang Li pleading for their brother's life. The brothers are depicted with utmost detail and emotion as they desperately try to save their sibling from a grave crime he has committed. With a touch of green color adorning their robes, these brave children symbolize filial piety - an important virtue deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Kuniyoshi's skillful use of calligraphy adds another layer of authenticity to this piece. The intricate cartouche surrounding the characters tells a tale that resonates across time and continents. It draws us into a world where family bonds transcend all obstacles, even amidst war and warfare. As we delve into this mesmerizing print, we are transported not only through space but also through history. We become witnesses to a folk story that continues to inspire generations with its timeless message of loyalty and devotion. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork stands as a testament to Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture profound human emotions within his prints.
