Virtual Lecture Series - Layers of Color: The Beauty and Impact of Woodblock Prints
Learn about the tradition and influential art of Japanese Woodblock Prints
Wednesday, May. 14, 2025 | 10 AM Online via Zoom
Woodblock prints are among the most beloved and influential of all traditional Japanese art forms. Historically, these prints served multiple purposes — from advertising posters to printed books and promoting fashion icons. Over the years, their evolving techniques and unique visual characteristics have impacted many major artists and art movements around the world, especially the Impressionists. Journey through a selection of Japanese woodblock prints from the Asian Art Museum collection to heighten your appreciation of their beauty and learn more about the elements that have made them so widely influential.
