Description

As Japan struggled to forge a new sense of self in the postwar years, many Japanese artists abandoned old methods of artmaking in favor of the “creative prints” movement. Join Dr. Hiroko Chiba (Professor of Modern Languages) and Craig Hadley (Gallery Director) for a discussion centered on this pivotal moment in Japanese art history, and view 40 postwar prints from the DePauw University permanent art collection. This event is part of ArtsFest 2016: Art and Utopia.
