This landmark book--the only comprehensive survey available in Englishfocuses on the lives and times of these artists and accompanies the first-ever exhibition devoted to their work in the United States.Considered by contemporaries to be an eccentric marvel  indifferent to worldly preoccupations  Taiga is best known as an exponent of the so-called Nanga school of Chinese literati painting. He was hugely prolific and experimental  working in an impressive range of styles  techniques  compositions  and subjects to produce over 1 000 calligraphies and paintings  and many large-scale fusuma (sliding doors) and screens. While not as well known as her husband  Gyokuran was a significant artist and a well-regarded poet of Japanese verse. Taiga wrote poetry in Chinese  and translated poems by both artists are featured prominently in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600683204661,"sku":"ByrdShop_0876331983","price":81.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780876331989.jpg?v=1790978244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ike-taiga-and-tokuyama-gyokuran-japanese-masters-of-the-brush-9780876331989","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
