Tyger, Tyger
Rousseau, Marc and Koson's tigers
Tiger art prints: paintings, Japanese woodblock prints, ink paintings and Korean folk paintings of tigers. The title comes from William Blake's poem The Tyger.
Artists include Utagawa Kuniyoshi (ukiyo-e tiger fights), Ohara Koson (Roaring Tiger with Crescent Moon), Kim Hong-do (Korean tigers under pine and bamboo), Henri Rousseau (Tiger in a Tropical Storm, 1891), Franz Marc (The Tiger, 1912), Toshi Yoshida and Kishi Chikudō (Meiji ink paintings). The collection also has Korean minhwa folk paintings, Indian miniatures including a Kota tiger hunt (1830), and Japanese lacquer by Shibata Zeshin (1888).
The selection compares how artists in Japan, Korea, India and Europe drew the same animal, from folk paintings to Expressionist woodcuts.
The bold tigers suit living rooms, studies and children's rooms; the tall Korean and Japanese paintings fit narrow walls beside a door or window. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
