Carnegie Museum of Art to feature exhibit of Japanese prints
鈥淚mprinting in Their Time: Japanese Printmakers, 1912-2022鈥� begins its run at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh this Saturday, June 24.
The exhibit presents a survey of Japanese prints throughout the 20th century up to present day, and examines how the role of a printmaker has transformed through international encounters, new sources of inspiration, and artistic motivation.
Drawn largely from the museum鈥檚 extensive collection of Japanese prints, the exhibition highlights a significant yet rarely seen part of its holdings, in addition to special loans from local private collections. 鈥淚mprinting in Their Time: Japanese Printmakers, 1912-2022鈥� features masterworks by Kawase Hasui, Yoshida Hiroshi, Munakata Shiko, Saito Kiyoshi, and new work by Hamanishi Katsunori and Morimura Ray.
The exhibition offers three fresh experiences for visitors, with new rotations of works appearing in October 2023 and February 2024. Each rotation consists of approximately 90 works on paper and proceeds thematically, beginning with works from the shin-hanga (new prints) movement, moving through works from the sosaku-hanga (creative prints) movement, and ending with contemporary prints from the 1980s to the present day.
