Nanga (Japanese painting styles, Japanese styles (styles), ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a style of Japanese painting that flourished from the middle of the Edo period (1600-1868) to the Taisho period (1912-1926). It was inspired by the Chinese literati, or "Wen ren," scholar-painting tradition, intended for a small, intellectual audience. Unlike other styles that developed in major Japanese studios, Nanga style includes varying techniques, styles, and subject-matter, linked by a loose tradition rather than by standardized rules. It is generally characterized by the combination of painting, poetry, and calligraphy, with a preference for subtle brushwork, monochromatic or subdued coloring, and abstraction of natural forms to convey highly personal views of nature.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 由江戶時代(西元1600年至1868年)中期盛行至大正時代(西元1912年至1926年)的日本繪畫風格。畫風的靈感來自中國文人學士,為少數知識份子而作的文人畫傳統。南畫有別於其他發展於主要日本畫室的風格,涵括各種技法、風格、題材,畫風自由而未訂標準規則。一般而言,南畫融合了繪畫、詩歌、書法,偏好細緻的筆法、單色或柔和的用色,並以抽象的形式呈現對自然的高度個人化觀點。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een stijl in de Japanse schilderkunst die floreerde van het midden van de Edo-periode (1600-1868) tot aan de Taisho-periode (1912-1926). De stijl was geïnspireerd op de Chinese geletterde intelligentsia, de zogenaamde Wen ren, een traditie van de leerlingschilderkunst, en was bedoeld voor een klein, intellectueel publiek. In tegenstelling tot andere stijlen die in grote Japanse ateliers tot ontwikkeling kwamen, maakt de Nanga-stijl gebruik van afwisselende technieken, stijlen en onderwerpen, die eerder met elkaar verbonden zijn door een losse traditie dan door gestandaardiseerde regels. De stijl kenmerkt zich doorgaans door de combinatie van schilderkunst, poëzie en kalligrafie, met een voorkeur voor subtiel penseelwerk, geen of gedempt kleurgebruik en abstractie van natuurlijke vormen om een uiterst persoonlijke kijk op de natuur weer te kunnen geven.
