20th Century Japanese Prints: Shin Hanga And Sosaku Hanga in the Print and Drawing Study Center

For many books and articles, the study of Japanese woodblock prints ends in the 19^th century. This exhibition looks beyond the classic era into the 20^th century, in which prints diverged in two directions. Shin Hanga followed the traditional format, themes, and division of labor of the 18^th and 19^th centuries. Sosaku-hanga showed the influence of Western art, embracing abstraction and the artist as printmaker.

Included in this exhibition are prints by Yōshū Chikanobu, Haku Maki, Hiroshi Yoshida, and Toshi Yoshida, among others.

This exhibition is supported by the Edward D. and Ione Auer Foundation.
