W00t! No homework!

My presentation on Maruyama Okyo went well. Here's what I found on him...

Maruyama Okyo

Maruyama Okyo (1733–95) was the founder in the late eighteenth century of the Maruyama-Shijo school of naturalist painters in Kyoto. He created a style that combined influences from several sources. Early in his career, he studied perspective as he made prints for an optical device that intensified the illusion of three-dimensional space in an image. Such "optiques" were popular as entertainment for members of the tradesman class in Kyoto at the time. Okyo looked to Chinese prints from Suzhou province as instructional guides; these, in turn, had been copied from Dutch copper-plate etchings. He also worked carefully to give a close account of nature, influenced by a "science boom" that affected many members of the intelligentsia and scientists in the 1770s and 1780s. Central to Okyo’s process of self-training in this new style was first-hand observation and sketching of animals and people rather than the common practice of using paintings by previous artists as models. Finally, he adapted and interpreted the impressive, decorative compositions devised by members of the Kano school, the official school of painters to the samurai class in the Edo period (1615–1868), and the Rimpa school of painters to nobles and wealthy merchants. Okyo’s revolutionary and independent study of the effects of light and shadow, as well as his experiments with perspective, influenced his own work and that of his followers

He painted these.
