EXAMPLES OF NATURE IN JAPANESE GRAPHICS XVII – XX CENTURIES AND THEIR DISPLAYING IN ECO-POSTER

Abstract

The aim of the work is to explore the origin and development of natural images in the art of Japan and to study their reflection in the ecological poster. The method of classification and systematic, as well as comparative-historical methods was used to identify the ecological trend in art; method of figurative and stylistic analysis. The  stages  of  the  development  of
Japanese art are considered in the article and the  main  tendencies  of  the  development  of the  ecological  direction  in  art  are  revealed. Based on the works of leading artists, the core images  of  nature  in  painting  and  graphic  art of Japan are analyzed. It has been proved that the images of nature, reflected by the masters in  their  graphic  and  pictorial  works  of  the
seventeenth  and  twentieth  centuries,  have been reflected in the Japanese environmental posters. It is substantiated that every new turn of the development of the Japanese landscape genre,  the  images  of  nature  overcome significant evolution and are revealed in a new way,  moving  from  the  specification  and description  to  the  reflection  of  the  deep questions  of  humanity.  It  is  argued  that  the ctive  display  of  the  images  of  nature  in  the engraving  begins  at  its  final  stage,  when  the fuke-ha  landscape  (landscapes),  kate-ha (flowers  and  birds)  develop  in  the development  of  the  genre,  in  which  the  love of  the  Japanese  to  the  surrounding  world  is fairly  vividly  demonstrated.  It  has  been demonstrated that the most diverse images of nature are revealed with the emergence of the art  of  the  poster.  As  an  independent  artistic unit,  the  poster  is  revealed  rather  late,  but quite  sparingly  gains  exceptional  popularity. Due  to  its  cleverness  and  a  large  range  of artistic  techniques,  it  has  become  one  of  the
most  prominent  artistic  expressions  and broadcasts  of  information,  and  has  become very  popular  in  the  artistic  sphere  of  Japan and the world.
