About This Item
Minneapolis, MN/Tokyo, Rutland, Vermont, Singapore: Minneapolis Institute of Art/Tuttle, 2023. Paperback. VG (Wraps and textblock are lightly shelfworn.). Yellow and color-illustrated wraps with black and white lettering; 343 pp.; richly illustrated in color. The most comprehensive book on Kodojin's art ever published--beautiful and mysterious--a collection of more than 100 paintings with English translations of the inscribed poems.The Art and Life of Fukuda Kod jin is the first publication in English to offer an in-depth examination of Kod jin's life, painting, and poetry. This fully illustrated publication draws from institutions and private collections worldwide, and is the result of fifteen years of extensive research into almost eight hundred works of inscribed poetry, literati landscapes, brush paintings and calligraphy. A beautiful and contemplative look into the world of Kod jin, this coveted edition accompanies a special exhibition held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.Fukuda Kod jin (1865-1944) was a multifaceted artist, recognized for his poetry, painting and calligraphy, and is one of a handful of artists who continued the tradition of Japanese literati painting (nanga) into the twentieth century. Kod jin's painting style is characterized by bizarrely shaped mountain forms rendered in vivid color or monochromatic ink, often with a solitary scholar enjoying the expansive beauty of nature and bits of inscribed poetry. Creating over 700 works in his lifetime, he also made simple paintings of plants and flowers in his dramatic brushwork, and distinctive literati landscapes.Kod jin literally means 'Old Taoist' which seems to reflect the path he chose of resilience of an old tradition facing new conditions and new challenges, and is theme felt throughout his art. There is both beauty and mystery in his life and work, and his landscapes can be rich in costly green and blue pigments, detailed layers of ink shading and strokes, or purely abstract.Unique, mysterious and distinctively expressive, The Art and Life of Fukuda Kodojin offers an unprecedented walk through the Old Taoist's mind, sure to both surprise and enlighten the curious reader, scholar, or literati enthusiast."-- WorldCat.
