Sharaku

By Elise Grilli

Book Overview

Sharaku by Elise Grilli is a book that explores the life and work of Toshusai Sharaku, a mysterious Japanese artist who created a series of striking portraits in the late 18th century. The book delves into the enigma surrounding Sharaku's identity and the controversy surrounding his brief but prolific career. It also provides a detailed analysis of his unique style, which combined elements of traditional Japanese art with a more realistic approach to portraiture. The book includes beautiful reproductions of Sharaku's most famous works, as well as lesser-known pieces, and explores the cultural and historical context in which they were created. Sharaku is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
