The four paintings presented in this notecard set speak to his genius in communicating emotional depth through flower arrangements. Contains five each of the following notecards: Flowers in a Vase, c. 1910 Pansies (detail), c. 1905 Large Vase with Flowers, c. 1912 Wildflowers, c. 1905

  5. Monet: The Late Years Boxed Notecards

    20 blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box Card size: 5 x 7 in. ISBN 9780764984433 The late work of Claude Monet represents a time of artistic focus on his living laboratory—the gardens he created at his home in Giverny, about 45 miles outside Paris. Flowers, not figures, were Monet’s primary subjects during this final stage of his long career. The paintings featured in this notecard set showcase the artist’s mastery of the effects of light, particularly in the interplay between reflections, shadows, aquatic plant life, and the surface of water. Contains five each of the following notecards: Les arceaux fleuris, Giverny (Flowering Arches, Giverny), 1913 Water Lilies, c. 1914–1917 Water Lilies (Nymphéas), 1907 The Japanese Bridge, c. 1923–1925 Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926) ranks among the greatest painters in the history of art. He was the most influential of the Impressionists, a group of painters who strove to capture the endless variations of light and atmosphere that occur over the course of a day in a given location. Indeed, Monet’s misty dawn painting Impression, Sunrise gave rise to the movement’s name. His career spanned an artistic revolution, one that intensified realism and eventually led the way to abstraction and 20th-century Modernism. Among Monet’s best-loved works are landscapes, city scenes, still lifes, and his unparalleled paintings of flower-filled meadows and the exquisite gardens and water lily pond at his home in Giverny.

  6. Kazuyuki Ohtsu: Cherry Trees Boxed Notecards

    • 20 blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box
    • Card size: 5 x 7 in.

    Kazuyuki Ohtsu is one of the foremost woodblock artists of the 
    sōsaku hanga movement. Sōsaku hanga artists handle every step of the production of prints themselves. They paint the original pictures, carve the woodblocks, and print the images.

    The four prints in this collection capture the beauty of cherry trees, their spring blossoms rich in symbolism, with their brief lifespan and fragile beauty often serving as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. Ohtsu’s colors are elemental, deep, and true—expressive without drama. He draws us into his compositions in a poetic contemplation of nature and harmony.

    Contains five each of the following notecards:
    A Cherry Tree and Mt. Yatsugatake
    Flowers in Village
    Miharutaki Cherry Tree and Moon
    A Large Cherry Tree in Spring

  7. Kawase Hasui: The Seasons Boxed Notecards

    One of the most prolific artists of the shin hanga (new prints) movement, Kawase Hasui produced over 600 woodblock prints during his 40-year career. In 1956, he was awarded the prestigious title of Living National Treasure by the Japanese government.

    Hasui’s Impressionist-influenced landscapes in this collection emphasize the beauty of Japan’s countryside and the changing seasons: an iris garden in spring, bright sunshine on a red bridge in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and snow on Mt. Fuji in winter.

    Contains five each of the following notecards:
    Mt. Fuji after Snow, Oshino, 1952
    Iris Garden at Meiji Shrine, Tokyo, 1951
    Nikko Shin-kyo (Shin Bridge, Nikko), 1951
    Autumn at Saruiwa, Shiobara, 1949

  8. Kawase Hasui Boxed Notecards

    Twenty assorted 5 x 7 in. blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box.

    Contains five each of the following notecards:
    Spring Night at Inokashira, 1931
    Morning at Mitohama, 1952
    Iris Garden at Meiji Shrine, Tokyo, 1951
    Autumn at Saruiwa, Shiobara, 1949

    The revival of fine-art printing in early-twentieth-century Japan—a movement known as shin hanga—coincided with the dynamic growth of an export economy, largely focused on the United States. More Americans bought these prints, which were made with the foreign market in mind, than did Japanese.

    Among the leading printmakers of the day was Kawase Hasui (Japanese, 1883–1957), whose specialty was exquisitely rendered landscape scenes. Often on the road in search of inspiration, Hasui brought his watercolor sketches to the printing studio of the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, where they were transformed into woodblock prints by a skillful team. The precision of the artist’s renderings is matched only by their poetic repose.
