The Painters of Japan

Morrison, Arthur, 1863-1945 · 1911 · London : T.C. & E.C. Jack · 3 pictures

The Painters of Japan is a 1911 art survey by Arthur Morrison, published in London by T.C. & E.C. Jack, aimed at readers interested in Japanese painting history. Its plates reproduce hanging-scroll paintings in ink and colour, showing mountain landscapes with figures and a rustic scene. A designer might take the tall vertical format, misty layered ranges and sparse brushwork as models for compositions that leave open space.
