Guided tour of the exhibition "Japanese Contemplations" presented by the Centre Jacques Brel. Presentation of original Japanese prints from the Georges Leskowicz Collection featuring UTAMARO, CHŌKI, EISHI, SHŪCHŌ, HOKUSAI, TOYOKUNI, and HIROSHIGE, along with the work of the artist Makiko FURUICHI. The Edo period (1603-1868) is a significant era in Japanese history, characterized by a time of peace and economic prosperity that influenced the artistic field. During this era, Japanese prints saw significant growth. Through these prints, notable ukiyo-e painters of the Edo period stood out in depicting women, embodying elegance, education, and a contemporary ideal of beauty. They portrayed women in everyday life scenes, leisure, arts learning, or in contemplative postures. Genuine testimonies of a codified society, these prints reflect the fashion and societal modernity of the era. While they inspired the Impressionists in the 19th century, their influence still shines in today's arts. The work of contemporary Japanese artist Makiko FURUICHI affirms this legacy. With poetry, she multiplies delicate silhouettes, subtly recalling the feminine representations of the great masters of ukiyo-e. Makiko's textile installations, accompanied by watercolors, contrast with the sophisticated patterns of traditional kimonos. This exhibition is a celebration of Japanese art that goes beyond describing reality, also aiming to evoke contemplation of subtle and refined beauty.
