Internationally recognized for its richness and quality, Georges Leskowicz's collection of Japanese ukiyo-e prints is one of the most important in the world. The Hôtel de Caumont-Centre d'art is presenting for the first time in France more than one hundred and fifty woodcuts by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, Harunobu, Koryusai, Hokkei, Kunisada, among others, including an extraordinary collection of surimono. Thanks to texts by Anna Katarzyna Maleszko and Geneviève Aitken, international specialists in Japanese art, this work traces the entire range of themes characteristic of Japanese life and culture of the Edo period (1600-1868), which ukiyo-e artists so finely described: natural motifs and scenes of daily life; the representation of kabuki actors and courtesans; objects linked to the celebration of the New Year; genre and erotic scenes or, again, traditional heroes and legends.
