Design drawn on paper larger than the picture: Harunobu's [Momijimai ], Matisse's [Pink nude, Seurat's [Cancan] Harunobu's [Autumn leaves dance] geometric structure 4

Initially my interest was  to analyze modern artworks, which was expanded to all the types of art.

  I found the drawing plan can be extended to the outside of the picture.

This model is very convenient to compare artworks.

It is easier to see the structures of the circle that makes the arc

 if there is a space outside the picture.

This is the outside- picture- circle model.

I made the model for [Momiji-mai].

 

             Harunobu [Momijimai] outside picture circle model

This picture belongs to the type "kimono-figure with umbrella".

In the collection of Ukiyo-e paintings, a set of this type can be found.

I pick an illustration from the blog: "Who is Sharaku (Hokusai?)" V, in which Haruo drew a picture of Sharaku (in terms of painting method, not style)

This shows that many lines have the same bent as the umbrella's bones.

I made this illustration as the example of stencil technique.

After I extended the blue arcs

                            Hokusai [Toumegane] extended circle-model

There is too much technical advance in this work from the paintings of Shunro era.

From Shunro’s last paintings to [Toumegane], Shunro(Hokusai)  hadn't painted a bijin-ga for nearly ten years.

However, it is understandable if  Sharaku era came after Shunro era.

Two techniques from the Sharaku era are used for this.

A)   Use an umbrella for the basic structure.

B)   Many uses of points to bundle circles.

I tried to find who started this device.

So far Kiyonobu's  is the oldest.

   Kiyonobu "Hayakawa Hatsuse and Nakamura Shichisaburo" outside-picture-circle model

In this way, at the structural level, works can be compared regardless of the motif.

It can be concluded that Sharaku is a great experiment, and Sharaku is Hokusai.
