Hashiguchi Goyo, 20th century master- Hashiguchi Goyo is one of the most famous and admired artists of 20th century Japanese woodblocks. He is sometimes referred to as the "Taisho Utamaro" as his incredible designs of women reached heights never seen again in 20th century woodblock prints. His sensitively to his subjects, innate understanding of, and successful portrayal of those subjects in woodblock prints, make Goyo one of the artistic geniuses of the 20th century.Goyo died unexpectedly in 1921 at age 41. His output was, tfore, very limited and his prints are incredibly rare. Additionally, Goyo's prints were done before the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. The devastation of the earthquake hit the woodblock print artists and publishers very hard and many prints and wood blocks were destroyed in the quake and ensuing fires. Original Goyo prints are some of the most sought after woodblock print images in the market today and sell in the $8,000 - $10,000 range and often much higher. With the permission of Goyo's heirs, a couple small commemorative runs of his prints were produced. These prints are also very rare today. But, they offer an opportunity to collect a Goyo woodblock reprint at a cost more in line with most collectors' budgets. These reprints were produced to the same exacting standard of Goyo's originals. Expert carvers were contracted to produce the highest quality wood blocks and printers meticulously reprinted Goyo's originals with the same attention to quality and detail. These reprints are on beautiful, hand made paper printed with the same colors and mica detail as Goyo's originals. The prints offered tonight in our auctions are from one of those reprint sets. If you have always wanted to own a Goyo masterpiece but have found the originals unattainable, consider these beautiful woodblock reprints. Either framed and displayed, or simply collected and stored, they are truly 20th shin-hanga treasures. Bid now on one of these incredible prints.
