喜多川歌麿
浮世繪美人畫大師
喜多川歌麿是一位日本藝術家。他是最受推崇的浮世繪木版畫和繪畫設計師之一,並以1790年代創作的「美人大首繪」(美麗女性的大頭肖像)而聞名。他還創作了自然題材的研究作品,尤其是配有插圖的昆蟲書籍。 關於歌麿的生平,所知甚少。他的作品在1770年代開始出現,並在1790年代初憑藉以誇張、修長特徵為特色的美人肖像畫而聲名大噪。他創作了超過2000幅已知版畫,是少數在世時便在全日本享有盛譽的浮世繪藝術家之一。1804年,他因製作描繪16世紀軍事統治者豐臣秀吉的非法版畫而被捕,並戴枷鎖五十天,兩年後去世。 歌麿的作品於十九世紀中葉傳入歐洲,在當地極為受歡迎,尤其在法國享有盛譽。他影響了歐洲的印象派畫家,特別是他對局部視角的運用以及對光影的強調,這些都為他們所模仿。在這些藝術家中提到的「日本影響」,往往指的是歌麿的作品。
