DESCRIPTION:
This Japanese woodblock print was made by Toyohara Kunichika, a master of ukiyo-e prints who was infatuated with the extravagance and drama of the kabuki theater.
His deep appreciation and knowledge of the kabuki theater led him to master a type of woodblock prints called Yakusha-e, which are kabuki actor portrays and scenes from the most popular plays of the time.
Kabuki means the art of song and dance, but the over the top costumes, make up, lighting and props makes kabuki an incredible visual spectacle.
Kunichika was wildly criticized for his use of deep colours, like reds and purples, in his kabuki prints, however, this had a great influence in mid 19th century modern art.
In this portrait we can see a kabuki actor wearing a voluminous pink and purple costume, and red stripes drawn around his cheeks and eyes, which symbolise power.
