2	A World in Print; Foreigners in Japan's Early Modern Bankoku Jinbutsu-Zu Parman, Alison 27 October 2016 (has links) Japanese woodblock prints featuring foreigners that appeared after the opening of ports such as Yokohama to international trade in the mid-nineteenth century are broadly referred to as Yokohama-e (or “Yokohama Pictures”). While there are already seminal studies that document the representation of Western peoples in Yokohama-e, those of Asian peoples have not yet received equal attention. This thesis focuses on a group of prints that include the word “all nations” (bankoku) in their titles, particularly those of Utagawa Yoshiiku. Although these prints are currently considered a type of Yokohama-e, they are distinctively different from typical Yokohama-e in their scope, particularly in its inclusion of many Asian and mythical peoples. This study investigates how this group of “pictures of the peoples of all nations” (bankoku jinbutsu-zu) functioned as popular guides to the nations of the world and reflected the domestic new awareness for Japan’s role within it.

6	Helen Hyde and Her "Children": Influences, Techniques and Business Savvy of an American Japoniste Printmaker January 2016 (has links) abstract: After the opening of Japan in the mid-1800s many foreigners flocked to the nation. San Franciscan Helen Hyde (1868-1919) joined the throng in 1899. Unlike many of her predecessors, however, she went as a single woman and was so taken with Japan she made it her home over the span of fourteen years. While a number of cursory studies have been written on Helen Hyde and her work, a wide range of questions have been left unanswered. Issues regarding her specific training, her printmaking techniques and the marketing of her art have been touched on, but never delved into. This dissertation will explore those issues. Helen Hyde's success as a printmaker stemmed from her intense artistic training, experimental techniques, artistic and social connections and diligence in self-promotion and marketing as well as a Western audience hungry for "Old Japan," and its imagined quaintness. Hyde's choice to live and work in Japan gave her access to models and firsthand subject matter which helped her audience feel like they were getting a slice of Japan, translated for them by a Western artist. This dissertation provides an in depth bibliography including hundreds of primary newspaper articles about Hyde who was lauded for her unique style. It also expands and corrects the listing of her printed works and examines the working style of an American working in a Japanese system with Japanese subjects for a primarily American audience. It also provides a listing of known exhibitions of Hyde's works and a listing of stamps and markings she used on her prints. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Art History 2016 Art history Biographies Fine arts America Helen Hyde Japonisme Printmaking Ukiyo-e woodblock prints
7	Constructing Semiotic System : A Study of Traditional Chinese Woodblock New Year Pictures Qian, Jinyue January 2023 (has links) Traditional Chinese woodblock New Year pictures face the danger of being marginalized and disappearing in the context of industrialization and technological development. It is, therefore, imperative to conduct research on traditional New Year pictures to address this challenge. This thesis analyses the content of New Year pictures from four representative bases (Yangliuqing, Taohuawu, Wuqiang, and Mianzhu) in China. The semiotic perspective is selected as a theoretical framework. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of representative New Year pictures, this study identifies commonly used signs in New Year pictures and explores their meanings from the perspectives of connotation and myth. The study also examines the construction relationship between the signifier and the signified of the signs. These findings preliminarily construct the semiotic system for Chinese woodblock New Year pictures. Furthermore, the analytical framework provides an innovative quantitative research approach to the study of traditional New Year picture signs, contributing to the current research on the New Year pictures’ semiotic system. In previous studies, quantitative methods have never been applied to the study of New Year pictures, nor have they been widely used in other similar folk art forms. Distant reading methods from the field of digital humanities open new frontiers in the study of folk art. While visual art may be better suited for traditional close-up reading, computational methods can help capture the overall characteristics of art from a macroscopic perspective.

9	Trembling Earth Chan, Amy Beth 01 January 2008 (has links) This thesis details the literary and visual influences in my work, the definition of American Gothic, and its connection it to my work. Literary sources such as Edgar Allan Poe and Fanny Kemble help spark a vision of the landscape. Visual influences include Japanese woodblock prints, scenic wallpapers, vintage postcards and Victorian mourning pictures. My regional explorations span the James River, Tidewater swamps and architecture within the city of Richmond.My work depicts local history and ecology inspired by Richmond and the surrounding region. Subtle Gothic elements add anxiety to the otherwise pastoral scenes. Gothic foreboding in the work questions our ecological future and the permanence of our human presence in the landscape.

10	Early Music Printing in Salamanca, 1494-1512 de Groot, Nicolas 15 July 2022 (has links) From 1494 until 1512, around a dozen securely datable prints containing or relating to music were published in the city of Salamanca in present-day Spain. To date, these works have not been considered as a group. This thesis takes the perspective of the Salmantine printers to examine this corpus. To do so, the study gathers methods and secondary sources from a variety of fields, particularly combining history of the Iberian book with musicology. The thesis establishes Juan de Porras as the dominant printer in Salmantine music printing production with prominent connections to the Fonseca family, particularly the Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso II de Fonseca. Music production was also motivated by liturgical reforms sweeping across the Peninsula, as well as related language reforms occurring at the University of Salamanca. While liturgical prints had pre-established markets and patrons, marketing techniques in the music treatises show that these works were targeted to different segments of Iberian society. The thesis includes three appendices which 1) collate all identifiable persons in the prints, 2) present a catalogue of Salmantine music prints from 1494 to 1512, and 3) compare music types used in the liturgical books of the corpus.
