Through October 12
Japonisme in American Graphic Art, 1880-1920 explores the myriad manifestations of Japonisme in a selection of rarely seen American works on paper from the Brooklyn Museum’s permanent collection. Concurrent with the so-called “Japan craze” in America was a renewed interest in graphic arts: as watercolor, pastel, etching, and other graphic media came to be appreciated for their artistry and expressivity, they also reflected the impact of Japanese art. Color wood cuts by late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masters such as Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Kuniyoshi were avidly collected in the West and served as particularly influential models of stylistic and technical innovation for American artists.

Over the summer I went to the Brooklyn Museum to see the Murakami exibit, so I hope this one is just as good!
