In the 1880s, Lepère was an early exponent of the woodcut as a fine art medium, experimenting with the technique and exhibiting his prints. His example probably encouraged Henri Rivière to produce woodcuts in the Japanese manner (see Wave in the Rain). In fact, Lepère and Rivière created the first French color woodcuts conceived and printed entirely in imitation of Japanese woodcut techniques. By 1890, woodcut would be taken up by the sculptor Aristide Maillol and such painters as Félix Vallotton and Paul Gauguin, and by 1895, a full-scale revival was underway.

"Landscape with Mount Fuji in the Distance," Emil Orlik, 1908.

Czech-born painter Orlik (1870-1932) isn't well known, having worked a lot as an illustrator and lithographer, but he deserves a closer look.

He was one of few Western artists who wasn't content to simply admire the Japanese prints that were popular in Europe, but to actually go to Japan and undertake an apprenticeship in traditional woodblock printing.

This landscape, done with Western sensibilities and with Japanese technique, has almost intense use of color and sense of composition. I want a print.

From a private collection.
