'The Second Wave: Modern Japanese Prints from Bloomington Collections'
Oct. 6 through Dec. 16, various times, IU Art Museum, Bloomington -- This exhibit features 40 modern Japanese woodblock prints from the Art Museum's own collection and borrowed from local collectors. The Second Wave, on view in the Special Exhibitions Gallery, celebrates the pioneers of the woodblock print movements who reinvented and rejuvenated woodblock printing in Japan in the 20th Century. The exhibition is divided into two parts: "New Prints" (Shin Hanga) and "Creative Prints" (Sosaku Hanga), reflecting the two primary print movements that sought to elevate prints, though different means, to a status equal to that of painting. While the west has long admired and collected Japanese prints, the Japanese had historically viewed woodblock prints as an efficient means of mechanical reproduction suitable for rapid dissemination of printed material, whether Buddhist texts or images of the most popular actor or reigning beauty. In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, woodblock printing was taught in industrial arts courses, not in fine arts programs. However, in 1951, when the judges chose Sosaku Hanga artist Saito Kiyoshi's woodblock print Steady Gaze over other Japanese works of painting and sculpture at the Biennial in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Japanese community took notice and so did the rest of the world. For more information about this exhibit, call 812-855-IUAM or visit the Web site at http://www.artmuseum.iu.edu.
