| Summary: | The early 1960s was the former art museum in Düsseldorf an extensive donation of Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), the founder of the added generously to 1988. Among them are 220 ??works of the artist Kunisada (1786-1865) and Kuniyoshi (1798-1861), which are distinguished by their finely tuned color and the expressive gestures of the figures represented. The leaves lead the viewer into a colorful, imaginative world of dreams and work occasionally as early examples of today's popular manga (Japanese comics). The publication offers a rare opportunity to compare images of both artists together on the same issues. The text contributions lead in the popular culture of Japan in the 19th Century and build a bridge to the present, they examine aspects of the grotesque in Japanese art, legends and plays, explain and protect it working drafts Kuniyoshi.0.
