Synopsis
Sotatsu and Korin, among others, transformed Japanese art during the Edo era (1603 - 1868) with their innovative techniques. Their works, often found on folding screens and scrolls, reflect a unique blend of stylization, abstraction, and minimalism. Artists like Okyo, Rosetsu, and Shohaku contributed to a distinctive aesthetic that emphasized elegance and originality, particularly in natural representations. Edo Avant-Garde illustrates how these unsigned masters influenced the modern art movement in the West, laying the groundwork for future artistic developments.
