AUCTION REMINDER

Meiji Prints Auction, March 7, 2004

Dear friends of Meiji prints

Auction # 84 offers 67 prints, all very different in subject, style and prices, but with one common bond. They were made during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Bidding is now open on www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp.

The flagship prints in this auction are 13 prints by probably the greatest meiji printmaker, Yoshitoshi - from his series of "New Forms of 36 Ghosts".

Chikanobu is represented with bijin prints and genre triptychs. Other artists are Toshikata Mizuno, Gekko, Nobukazu Watanabe and Kokunimasu.

And last but not least, this auction offers 12 Japanese war prints. They come from the famous Muller collection and belong to the best in this genre. Most are by Kiyochika Kobayashi, whose war prints are ranked by critics as more subtle and artistically elaborate. And fortunately the depiction of bloody battlescenes is very much in the background. On www.artelino.com/articles/japanese_war_prints.asp you find an article about Japanese prints from the Sino- and Russo-Japanese wars of 1894/95 and 1904/05.

kind regards

your artelino team
