The paintings of the flowing world belong to the works of Japanese art that made a great impression, especially on the French Impressionists. The Japanese artists of the Ukiyoe direction were woodcut artists. The simplicity of the prints was particularly admired by European artists. Japanese woodblock printing was based on an elaborate process. The artist made a drawing on paper. A skilled woodcarver transferred the pattern into a printing block made of cherry wood. A printer made the print. A printing block was made for each color in the painting. Keisai Eisen was born as the son of a calligrapher and found his way to ukiyoe art in the course of his education. Keisai is considered to be an erratic and unbalanced artist. In his first creative phase, he still followed the painting style of his teacher, but quickly developed artistic self-confidence and found his own style.
Keisai Eisen was born in Edo, today's Tokyo. The artist found his inspiration in the world of hedonistic pleasure. In the amusement quarters of the city Keisai, like all ukiyoe artists, found the models for his motifs. Nevertheless, there are great differences between the depictions. Ukiyoe is synonymous with the dazzling life of the night. Kabuki theatres, teahouses, fireworks, actors and sumo wrestlers are as much a part of it as brothels, geishas and courtesans. Keisai Eisen's works span a spectrum from stylish amusement with an easy elegance and reach to the edge of vulgarity. Keisai most famous works are the depictions of beautiful women. Eisen mastered the particular pictorial form of the ecubi-e in an extraordinary way. In these depictions the head is proportionally large and, together with the elaborate hairstyle, is the dominant element of the picture. Keisai renounces the traditional academic guidelines in his depictions of beautiful women. The grace and elegance shown appear more natural and the artist takes the aloofness out of the paintings. In the later works, the women show coquetry, they dally, and Keisai continued down the path to erotic depiction.
Keisai Eisen had a reputation among his contemporaries for being unsteady. The quality of his works is not constant, which may not have been due to a lack of talent, but to the artist's lack of care. The painter supported this impression by his own statements. He described himself as a drunkard and claimed to have been the owner of a brothel, which was destroyed by fire. Keisai Eisen achieved his greatest fame in Europe through the work "The Courtesan". One of the greatest admirers of Japanese woodblock art was Vincent van Gogh. Over a long period he tried to imitate the pictorial art. The work of Keisai appeared as an illustration on a magazine. Van Gogh copied it and put it on canvas in an enlarged version.
