EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Iris Kaempfer, 1896" transports us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century Japan. The hand-coloured collotype, captured by the talented photographer Ogawa Kazumasa (also known as Ogawa Isshin), showcases his pioneering techniques in photomechanical printing. The image features a stunning close-up of an iris flower, meticulously hand-coloured to enhance its vibrant hues and delicate details. As we gaze at this masterpiece, we are reminded of nature's timeless beauty and the artistry involved in early photography. Ogawa Kazumasa was renowned for his contributions to Japanese photography during the Meiji era. His work often celebrated traditional Japanese subjects such as flowers and landscapes while incorporating Western influences. This particular piece exemplifies his mastery in capturing the essence of irises with unparalleled precision. Displayed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this photograph serves as a testament to both Ogawa's artistic brilliance and the enduring allure of Japanese culture. Its inclusion in their collection signifies its significance within the realm of fine art. As we admire this remarkable print from www. bridgemanimages. com, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize it as a historical artifact that encapsulates a pivotal moment in early photography's evolution.
