Some of his photographs, such as the iconic snapshots of the extraordinary structures of Frank Lloyd Wright or Pierre Koenig, have been published countless times. Moreover, it was Shulman's shots that first highlighted the brilliance of the buildings of Charles Eames or his dear friend Richard Neutra. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography be considered an independent art form. Each of Shulman's shots fuses his perception and knowledge of the buildings and their place in the landscape, while his careful composition reveals not only the architectural ideas hidden behind the buildings' facades but also the intuitions and hopes of an entire era. Even without human figures, a sense of humanity is always felt in his work. Today, many of the buildings Shulman documented have been lost or crudely converted, but interest in his pioneering images is as alive as ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--wrapper\"\u003e\n\n \u003ch5 class=\"read-more__biography--title\" data-uw-rm-heading=\"level\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e The author \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--item\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"read-more__biography--text\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth A.T.

In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of Japonaiserie that first captivated France and later Europe, yet it often remains misunderstood as an \"exotic\" artifact that helped inspire Western creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The fact is that \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese woodblock printing\u003c\/strong\u003e is a phenomenon for which there is no Western equivalent. Some of the most groundbreaking ideas in modern art, including, as Karl Marx said, \"everything solid melts into air,\" were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed as never before in the designs of masters like Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis volume, based on the original XXL monograph, lifts the veil on a beloved yet little-understood art form by presenting the most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context.

We discover the four pillars of woodblock printing (beauties, actors, landscapes, and compositions of birds and flowers) alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or seductive courtesans—rock stars who populated the \"floating world\" and whose fans fueled the frenetic production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrific and the dark in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living: astonishing images that continue to influence Japanese manga, films, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to eroticism, from the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and unerring eye of their creators, and how, with enormous ingenuity and ironic wit, publishers and artists struggled to evade government censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis edition brings together the best existing impressions from museums and private collections around the world in a light and accessible format, offering extensive descriptions to guide us through this frenetic period in the history of Japanese art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-information__edition-and-specs\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The author\u003cbr\u003e Andreas Marks studied East Asian art history at the University of Bonn and earned a doctorate in Japanese studies from the University of Leiden with a thesis on 19th-century prints depicting kabuki actors.
