JAPANESE COLOR WOODCUTS

From Shunshō to Hasui

The exhi­bi­tion fea­tures mas­ter­pieces of Japan­ese wood­block prints from the 18th through the ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry. Works by artists such as Kat­sukawa Shun­shō, Kita­gawa Uta­maro, Uta­gawa Hiroshige, as well as Ohara Koson and Kawase Hasui, illus­trate the evo­lu­tion of this unique art form—from ele­gant depic­tions of fig­ures and actors to poet­ic land­scapes and atmos­pher­ic nat­ur­al motifs. The prints on dis­play offer a glimpse into Japan’s aes­thet­ics, cul­ture, and visu­al world, show­cas­ing the time­less beau­ty of wood­block prints.
