Abstract

"Newly revised and expanded, this second edition of Timon Screech's definitive Sex and the Floating World offers a real assessment of the genre of Japanese paintings and prints today known as shunga. Changes in Japanese law in the 1990s enabled erotic images to be published without fear of prosecution, and many shunga picture-books have since appeared. There has, however, been very little attempt to situate the imagery within the contexts of sexuality, gender or power. Questions of aesthetics, and of whether shunga deserve a place in the official history of Japanese art, have dominated, and the question of the use of these images has been avoided. Timon Screech seeks to re-establish shunga in a proper historical frame of culture and creativity. Shunga prints are not like any other form of picture for the simple fact that they are overtly about sex. And once we begin to examine them first and foremost as sexual apparatus, then we must be prepared for some surprises. The author opens up for us the strange world of sexual fantasy in the Edo culture of eighteenth-century Japan, and investigates the tensions in class and gender of those that made - and made use of - shunga."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Dans l'art japonais du XXe siècle, shin hanga désigne les « nouvelles estampes ». Relativement méconnues, elles se distinguent des gravures sur bois traditionnelles par leur langage visuel ancré dans la modernité. Les femmes, autrefois idéalisées et stylisées, sont désormais dessinées à partir de modèles réels dont on devine les émotions. Les paysages, impressionnistes plus que réalistes, se caractérisent par une gamme chromatique très évocatrice. Ces fascinantes « nouvelles estampes » témoignent aussi d'une perfection technique exceptionnelle, résultat de la collaboration entre des artistes tels Goyō, Kotondo, Shinsui et Hasui, des éditeurs, des graveurs et des imprimeurs. La sélection d'estampes présentée ici, issue de deux grandes collections privées, est enrichie d'œuvres provenant des Musées royaux d'art et d'histoire de Bruxelles et - apport inestimable - d'emprunts à la collection de la famille de l'éditeur Watanabe Shōzaburō, l'homme par qui tout commença.
