A little #bluesday inspiration from #bkmasianart: The introduction of the vibrant chemical pigment “Prussian” or “Berlin” blue in 1829 changed the history of the Japanese print forever. Early excitement about the color led to a genre of all-blue or mostly blue woodblock prints called aizuri-e. Scholarly evidence suggests that the earliest aizuri-e were landscapes in a Chinese style, apparently imitating decorations found on blue-and-white porcelains. But soon this popular trend was applied to other types of prints as well. In this moment of discovery in nineteenth-century Japan, artists used a Western technology to suit and expand their own traditional practices. In turn, the resulting imagery of Japanese prints was later exported to Europe, where it had a resounding impact on Western art practices. #infinitebluebkm
