From my visit this week to an exhibit, Ehon: The artist and the book in Japan, at the 42nd Street NY Public Library, here's a page from "100 Aspects of the Moon," published 1785-1792:
Quote: Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan will demonstrate the variety of visual languages used by artists over many historical periods from 764 to 2005. It will include approximately 200 books with printed illustrations, as well as related manuscripts, drawings, woodblock prints, and photographs.
Ehon means picture book. Poets and other writers would write their works on the artist's illustrated pages using their own distinct calligraphy which gave the reader more understanding of the author's intent, even sometimes having to decipher the poet's calligraphy to understand its meaning. Today we see the same form in Japanese manga and anime'. Here's another ehon from The Plum Blossom Album:

Funny you would mention "reinventing Monet" - I have it flipped upside down and use it as my pc's wallpaper.  |

I have been taking art classes and thought I'd share one of my pastels - we did a Degas study for a few weeks. This is actually a study Degas did for The Rehearsal Room, but the final painting was much different than this.
