Summary

Who would have imagined that an art breaking the concepts of the Italian Renaissance would become one of the greatest sources of artists? From Vincent van Gogh to Edgar Degas and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Japanese art is adorned with subtle yet brilliant colours. 
Artists like Hokusai represent a living nature, in movement, where the waves have foam tentacles and the trees seem to be able to move in the landscape. The bodies are not magnified, they take poses that are just as vivid as Robert Doisneau's photographs. 
The prints of the floating world, Ukiyo-e, depict landscapes in a calm and gentle manner just like the Zen paintings of Sumi-e. Animals are depicted just as beautifully and purely as plants. 
With this book, use Japanese colors to create Japanese inspired works of art. Discover when and where each colour was discovered and used. 
History influences colours and colours influence history.
Available since: 04/10/2020.

    Without a doubt, Katsushika Hokusai is the most famous Japanese artist since the middle of the nineteenth century whose art is known to the Western world. Reflecting the artistic expression of an isolated civilisation, the works of Hokusai - one of the first Japanese artists to emerge in Europe - greatly influenced the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters, such as Vincent van Gogh. Considered during his life as a living Ukiyo-e master, Hokusai fascinates us with the variety and the significance of his work, which spanned almost ninety years and is presented here in all its breadth and diversity.

    The Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) Church Choir of Cleveland (renamed Exultate), Ohio crowns the beginning of its I0th year of musical activity with the release of its first recording. Formed in the fall of 1982 for the purpose of singing during the services of major religious and national holidays at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, it is made up of 27 choristers of Lithuanian descent.Over the course of 10 years, in addition to its standing commitment at OLPH Church, the choristers have accepted numerous invitations to perform sacred and folk music. Some highlights of such engagements include performing in Rome (Italy), Chicago, Rochester and Cleveland during the commemoration of the 600th anniversary of Christianity in Lithuania (1987), singing at the McMillan Theatre of the University of Toronto during the Fourth Lithuanian Cultural Congress (June 1988), performing numerous times with the Lithuanian Folk Dance Ensemble "Grandinėlė", and participating in the Seventh Lithuanian Song Festival (Chicago, May 1991.)With the release of this recording, the OLPH choir renders to its listeners a sampling of its Christmas repertoire. We hope that the echo of these hymns will resound in your homes throughout the Christmas season, and that the common language of music will bring all peoples of the world closer together in peace and harmony.
