The Art And Life Of Fukuda Kodojin /anglais: Japan's Great Poet and Landscape Artist - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Fukuda Kodojin (1865--1944) was a versatile artist whose talents extended beyond poetry to painting and calligraphy. He created over 700 paintings and calligraphy and his work was favored by influential industrialists and politicians in his time who came together to establish the "Kodojin Society." Largely forgotten after World War II, today he is highly appreciated outside of Japan. This is the most comprehensive publication with more than 100 paintings from public and private collections that has accompanied a special exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
