A lecture on 20th-century printmaking by Japanese female artists.

The scope, techniques, and creativity of Japanese printmaking expanded throughout the 20th century, fueled by the talents of a young postwar generation of artists. Bolstered by international encounters—including new art galleries, dealers, and English-language publications—Japanese prints found especially eager audiences among American collectors. Today, North American institutions and private collections hold extensive and often deep collections of modern Japanese prints, yet many of these artists are relatively unknown. This lecture focuses on the untold stories of women artists who were among those drawn to the expressive potential of the medium in the early 1950s.
