Notes: Gihachiro Okuyama’s “Woman Combing Her Hair (髪を梳く女)” is a magnificent homage to French Post-Impressionist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This rare woodblock print, based on Lautrec’s 1896 piece from his "Elles" lithography series - a portfolio focused on the lives of women in Parisian brothels - captures a moment of daily intimacy as a woman arranges her hair. Okuyama published a remarkable portfolio of woodblock prints in homage to original works by Post-Impressionists Vincent Van Gogh (フィンセント・ファン・ゴッホ), Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (アンリ・ド・トゥールーズ＝ロートレック), and Paul Cézanne (セザンヌ). Highly collectable, it truly is remarkable how Okuyama has meticulously captured the fine details, fluid brushstrokes & textures of these Post-Impressionist masters within the precise intricacy, registration, & colour block work of traditional Japanese woodblock printing.
