Woman Walking in the Snow
Утагава Хиросиге (1797 – 1858)
Утагава Хиросиге – великий японский художник-пейзажист эпохи Эдо, известный своими поэтичными и атмосферными гравюрами, особенно "Пятьдесят три станции Тōkaidō". Его работы оказали влияние на европейское искусство, включая импрессионистов.
In his prints, Hiroshige used the unprinted white paper to represent snow, a technique also exploited in this painting, in which unpainted silk, reserved against the pale ink wash, suggests the snow-covered areas. Slightly bleeding ink creates the impression of fluffy snow, and snowflakes were rendered with splashes of opaque white pigment. By contrast, the figure"s partially revealed red undergarment intensifies the white.Hiroshige"s early works, of the mid-to late 1820s, depict slouching, long-faced women, while his later works present tall beauties in landscape settings, as in this scroll, made in the 1840s or early 1850s.
