IKE TAIGA. Calligraphy of a Tang-dynasty poem, Maple Bridge Night Mooring""

Calligraphy of a Tang-dynasty poem, "Maple Bridge Night Mooring". Artist: Ike Taiga (Japanese, 1723-1776). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image (each panel): 53 1/4 x 22 1/8 in. (135.3 x 56.2 cm) Overall: 68 3/4 x 72 3/4 in. (174.6 x 184.8 cm). Date: ca. 1770. During the Edo period Ike Taiga, one of Japan's most prolific literati artists, excelled in a special calligraphic style called karayo, or Chinese-style calligraphy. This screen shows Taiga's execution of a famous Chinese poem, "Maple Bridge Night Mooring," composed by Zhang Ji in the eighth century. Translated, the poem reads: The moon sets, crows sing, and frost fills the sky. Maple trees along the river and fires in fishing boats face me, sleepless with lament. The bell of Cold Mountain Temple outside Suzhou tolls, At midnight, the sound reaches this boat. The calligraphy is flamboyant and various: the characters are large and small, the ink wet and dry, and the lines thick and thin. The work holds a powerful spiritual tension in its fluctuating verticality.

Traduction automatique: Calligraphie d'un poème de la dynastie Tang, "Maple Bridge Night Mooring". Artiste : Ike Taiga (japonais, 1723-1776). Culture : Japon. Dimensions : Image (chaque panneau) : 53 1/4 x 22 1/8 in. (135,3 x 56,2 cm) Total : 68 3/4 x 72 3/4 in. (174,6 x 184,8 cm). Date : env. 1770. Au cours de la période Edo, Ike Taiga, l'un des artistes lettrés les plus prolifiques du Japon, excellait dans un style calligraphique spécial appelé karayo, ou calligraphie de style chinois. Cet écran montre l'exécution par Taiga d'un célèbre poème chinois, "Maple Bridge Night Mooring", composé par Zhang Ji au huitième siècle. Traduit, le poème se lit comme suit : La lune se couche, les corbeaux chantent et le ciel est recouvert de givre. Des érables le long de la rivière et des feux dans des bateaux de pêche me font face, insomniaque de lamentations. La cloche du Cold Mountain Temple devant les péages de Suzhou, A minuit, le son atteint ce bateau. La calligraphie est flamboyante et variée : les caractères sont grands et petits, l'encre humide et sèche, les traits épais et fins. L'?uvre recèle une puissante tension spirituelle dans sa verticalité fluctuante.
