Exhibit Description
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (Upper Level)A pivotal moment in Japanese printmaking history, the artists associated with the modern print movement broke with centuries of rigid tradition and embraced the flexibility and spontaneous creativity afforded them by sketching, carving, and printing their own works. Previously, historic Japanese prints prior to the early 20thcentury relied upon a well-established workshop method in which artists, carvers, and printmakers each completed a specialized task in the printmaking process. This exhibition and the accompanying catalog feature, for the first time, 40 key abstract pieces from the DePauw University permanent art collection. Noted artists include: Iwami Reika, Onchi Koshiro, Sekino Junichiro, Shinoda Toko, and Yamaguchi Gen. This exhibition and the accompanying print catalog was made possible with generous support from: Arthur E. Klauser ’45 Asian & World Community Collections Endowment, DePauw University Asian Studies Program, DePauw University David T. Prosser Jr. ‘65 E. Rhodes and Leona B.
