EDITORS COMMENTS
Prosperity: Ding Gu (Roku, Teiko), from an untitled series of happiness, prosperity, and longevity, captures the essence of 19th-century Chinese art. This exquisite color woodblock print by Gakutei Harunobu showcases the beauty and tranquility of nature during the Edo period. The artwork depicts a man peacefully asleep at his desk in a traditional Japanese setting. Surrounded by blooming pine trees and balconies adorned with potted plants, he finds solace in literature amidst the bustling cityscape. The intricate details of this piece reflect Gakutei's mastery as an artist. The harmonious blend of colors brings life to every element within the composition – from the vibrant reds and greens of the foliage to the delicate shades on each page of his open book. The use of block printing techniques adds depth and texture to this scene. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that prosperity is not solely measured by material wealth but also by finding inner peace and contentment. It serves as a timeless reminder that true happiness can be found even in our busiest moments if we take time for ourselves. This remarkable print is part of an untitled series exploring themes such as happiness, prosperity, and longevity – concepts deeply rooted in Asian culture. Its presence at Art Institute Chicago allows visitors to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance.
