Utagawa Yoshitsuya Exhibition Catalog - newly discovered disciple of Kuniyoshi - VERY LIMITED







Size: 9 ” x 11.5 ” - Pages: 32 - Published: 2011 - Price: $42 - Binding: Softcover

This is the exhibition catalog from a show I just went to featuring the work of Utagawa Yoshitsuya - Unknown disciple of master Ukiyo-e Artists Kuniyoshi. The exhibit was amazing....it's inconceivable how a collection this vast would stay off the radar. Yoshitsuya's palette is muted very much along the same vein as Kuniyoshi, lots of dark greens, denim blues and orange and he does some jaw dropping snakes. The catalog itself leaves a bit to be desired, I've zoomed in on a few of the images but they tend to be 3-4 to a page, but hopefully this show will manifest enough interest for another printing house to do a nice hardback but for now this is the only publication on the market. I bought 50 copies, once they are gone, that's it.
