EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Woman Applying Makeup" and created by the renowned Japanese artist Hashiguchi Goyo in 1918, offers a glimpse into the world of beauty and self-presentation in early 20th century Asia. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the artist's masterful use of color and intricate detail in his ukiyo-e style. The woman in the print is seen in a moment of quiet reflection as she applies makeup in front of a mirror. Her expression is thoughtful, her gaze fixed on her reflection as she delicately applies a fragrance to her neck with a hairpin. The woodcut captures the essence of the moment, with the woman's elegant kimono, the delicate folds of fabric, and the intricate patterns adorning the room, all adding to the overall sense of refinement and grace. Hashiguchi Goyo was a leading figure in the Japanese art world during the early 20th century, known for his innovative approach to traditional ukiyo-e techniques. His work often explored themes of everyday life, and this print is a testament to his ability to capture the beauty and nuance of simple moments. The use of color in the print is particularly noteworthy, with vibrant hues adding depth and richness to the image. The woman's kimono, for example, is a stunning array of blues, greens, and purples, while the mirror and vanity table are rendered in intricate detail, with each brushstroke bringing the scene to life. Overall, this woodcut print by Hashiguchi Goyo offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of beauty and self-presentation in early 20th century Asia, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a moment in time.
