Utamaro (1753) Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Wood cutter, b. 1753 - d. 1806

Artist Kitagawa Utamaro was one of the most famous ukiyo-e artists. Ukiyo-e translates to "pictures of the floating world," and artist Utamro's ukiyo-e prints were unique in that they usually portrayed one woman, versus the multiple women in comparable ukiyo-e art. Utamaro's art is most well known for his erotic depictions of women, as most of his over 1,500 prints feature females, from mothers to courtesans. 

Before ukiyo-e art, Utamaro created illustrated books, the most famous being Insects. One of his most famous set of ukiyo-e woodcut prints is titled Fu ninsogaku jittai (Ten Physiognomies of Women). Utamaro's woodblock prints of the wife and concubines of military dictator Toyotomi Hideyoshi's got him arrested for shaming the dictator. This ended Kitagawa Utamaro's work as an artist, and he died two years later in 1806. Even though his career was cut short, there are many of Utamaro's ukiyo-e prints for sale around the world.

The center panel depicts a woman combing her hair while her child sucks at her exposed breasts. The left panel depicts two women watching a school of fish while resting from their dives. The figures are outlined in red ink, giving the figures a more realistic appearance. Ama were typically the wives of fishermen who supplemented the family's income with this seasonal occupation. In order to move feely while searching for abalone they would typically only wear their underskirts. It is only in recent times that women of this profession have opted for modern wetsuits and masks.

                    Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) Japanese, Bijinga Woodblock Print

                    Est: $100 - $150

                    Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) Japanese, Bijinga Woodblock Print. In bamboo-lined frame with framing label on back. Kanji on top and middle right side. Informative label on the back indicates the artist, the title (Festival Trio), and the date it was made (mid-1790s), as well as an explanation of its place in the James A. Michener Collection of Japanese Prints in the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Hawaii.  Overall Size: 16 x 12 in.  Sight Size: 10 1/2 x 7 in.  #4677 .  Kitagawa Utamaro was born some time in 1753 in Japan. Although one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e (“floating world”) woodblock prints and paintings, particularly of beautiful women with exaggerated and elongated features, little is known of his actual life, and much that is known is contradictory and difficult to confirm. He was born Kitagawa Ichitaro, and at times used the names Yusuke and Yuki. He studied under Toriyama Sekien (1712-1788), first naming himself Toyoaki before settling on his most common moniker. Utamaro apparently married, although nothing is known about his wife and there is no record of them having had children. There are, however, many prints of tender and intimate domestic scenes featuring the same woman and child over several years of the child’s growth among his works. He is known to have made several important improvements in woodblock printing techniques, and invented at least three himself: “Jitsubushi,” which makes the background of a piece hazy, “Unmozuri,” which creates a sheen by rubbing the background with mica, and “Odoshoku tsubushi,” which involves rubbing the background with ochre for a gradient effect. His art began to appear in the 1770s, and he rose to prominence in the early 1790s, producing over 2000 known prints. One of the few ukiyo-e artists to achieve fame throughout Japan in his own lifetime, it was his arrest in 1804 for making illegal prints depicting the 16th Century military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi that made him infamous, and likely contributed to his death two years later in October 1806. By the mid-19th Century his work had even reached Europe, where it garnered particular acclaim in France, heavily influencing the Impressionists with his use of partial views and his emphasis on light and shade.

                    Jan. 14, 2025

                    A JAPANESE WOODBLOCKPRINT OF A WOMAN OF MEDIUM RANK (中品の女) KITAGAWA UTAMARO (喜多川歌麿)

                    Est: €1,200 - €1,500

                    A Woman of Medium Rank (中品の女) Artist: Kitagawa Utamaro (喜多川歌麿) Period: Late 18th to early 19th century This elegant woodblock print by the renowned ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro depicts a woman of medium social rank, captured with Utamaro's signature delicate and expressive line work. The woman's serene expression and the flowing lines of her hair exemplify Utamaro’s mastery in portraying the grace and beauty of women. The calligraphy on the right, "Yūkaku Jissetsu," translates to "The True Stories of the Pleasure Quarters," indicating the context of the series, which explores the lives and stories of women in different social standings within the pleasure districts of Edo-period Japan. Utamaro’s nuanced use of composition and minimalism emphasizes the refinement and subtle elegance of the subject. The artist's signature can be seen on the left, marking this piece as a classic example of his celebrated bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) style.
