Museum of Fine Arts Presents Sosaku Hanga: Modern Japanese Prints
7/29/2006 - 9/24/2006
The Museum of Fine Arts 255 Beach Drive NE St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Two schools of printmaking existed in twentieth-century Japan: shin hanga and sasaku hanga. Shin hanga (new prints) continued the traditional ukiyo-e subjects and workshop method of print making, but with a new Western influence. Sosaku hanga (creative prints) were more fully Westernized in style, blending Japense aesthetics with international trends in art, especially European methods of painting and printmaking. This exhibition of approximately 20 works displays a wide variety of subjects, techniques and artists. The prints mostly date from the 1950's and 1960's, when the sosaku hanga movement finally achieved international recognition. For more information, please call 727-896-2667
