EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Lovers Beside Flowering Autumn Grasses" transports us back to the Edo period in Japan, between 1615 and 1868. Created by Hishikawa Moronobu in the 1680s, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for merging graphic and emotive qualities. Moronobu's recurrent depictions of lovers allowed him to explore amorous poses that were otherwise prohibited during this time. In this particular piece, he skillfully captures their physical connection while also integrating a lyrical element through the heightened sinuous lines. The play between black and white patterning on their robes adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. The delicate flowering autumn grasses surrounding them symbolize both beauty and transience, reminding us of the ephemeral nature of love itself. Measuring approximately 9 1/4 by 13 inches (23.5 by 33.7 cm), this woodblock print is a testament to Moronobu's mastery of his craft. His ability to infuse static images with life through animated lines is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this exquisite work of art from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where passion intertwines with nature's fleeting beauty. It serves as a reminder that even in different times and cultures, love remains an eternal source of inspiration for artists throughout history.
