Chapter 19

Arts of East Asia:India, China, and Japan I found the art in this chapter

to be very moving and beautiful if I had to choose my favorite it would be the art

from Japan there is just something about it that moves me so I choose 2 sets of

artists from this group to compare to each other. 1st off was Utamaro's

Hairdressing

I compared this to Sharaku's Otani Oniji

Although they have a lot in common I really loved the Hairdressing I

found this piece to be truly breath taking I loved the colors used and the look

of the women they seemed at peace and the Sharaku piece just felt a little

scary to me. I just really was into the hairdresser and not so much into the

other go figure they are alike in a lot of ways but to me they could not be more

different but that is the beauty of art.

The next piece was Hokusai's Ejira in Suruga Province

I compared it to Hiroshige's Riverside Bamboo Market

I really enjoyed both these pieces like the 1st two they had a lot

in common they are both beautiful works of art with wonderful blends of colors

you could also see movement in the paintings they both seems to be alive which I

found to be very cool. I liked the Riverside a little more than the other because

it had a little more brightness to the colors which I really love. but as I said

in the beginning I really loved both pieces. for me this was a great chapter.
