"Paintings by Shin Hanga Artists" Exhibition
Scholten Japanese Art
This event has ended.
Shin-hanga, literally, 'new prints,' is a term used to collectively describe prints of a genre which emerged in the early 20th century and sought to revitalize traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking. The artists associated with this movement tended to incorporate Western elements into their prints, such as point perspective and the effects of light and shadow, while depicting classical ukiyo-e themes such as landscapes, beautiful women, actors and nature prints. Interestingly, traditional paintings by these artists occasionally display hints of Western influences as well.
