“Woman in Blue Combing Her Hair”

Added by Julia Knapp 10 on Jul 11th, 2023

Date

1920

Credits

  • Hashiguchi Goyō  3

The exceptional wood cutting of the blocks to portray the intricacies of women’s hair was a Ukiyo-e tradition that Goyo had enthusiastically revived. The prints’ impact was enhanced by his restricted palette of a few primary colors. 

This piece was famously drawn on the first Macintosh by Susan Kare for marketing purposes.
