Almost his entire artistic life was dedicated to creating image records of \u003cem\u003ekabuki\u003c\/em\u003e theatre productions and the actors who starred in them, including such notables as Ichikawa Danjuro IX, Nakamura Shikan IV, and Onoe Kikugoro V. Kunichika constantly developed his own unique aesthetic style, always pushing the boundaries of \u003cem\u003eukiyo-e\u003c\/em\u003e in bold and provocative new directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDOYENS OF DELIRIUM collects 100 of Kunichika's most striking and vivid \u003cem\u003ekabuki\u003c\/em\u003e actor portrait designs, in a testament to the enduring innovation and power of his prolific output. The selection presented here draws from two decades of the artist's work, and features a wide range of seminal \u003cem\u003ekabuki\u003c\/em\u003e subjects produced between 1864 and 1883 (after which his artistic focus turned more to the triptych format).
