Utamaro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kitagawa Utamaro (喜多川 歌麿?) (ca. 1753 - 1806) was a Japanese printmaker and painter, and is considered one of the greatest artists of ukiyo-e. He is very famous for his studies of women, called bijinga. He also made nature studies. His work arrived at Europe in the mid 19th century, where it was very popular, and was very successful in France. He influenced the European Impressionists, mostly with his views of parts of the human body, and his use of light and shade.
