Japanese Printmaking Lecture
Saturday, March 15, 2008
On Saturday, March 15, Bard in China presents “Japanese Prints from Ukiyoe to the Modern Day,” a lecture and demonstration by renowned Japanese printmaker Akira Kurosaki. The lecture features a slideshow and discussion focusing on Japanese woodblock printmaking as exemplified in 18th- and 19th-century ukiyoe prints. Kurosaki will also explore how European printmaking from the early twentieth century inspired Japanese printmakers to develop new techniques. The lecture will examine the works of eight to ten representative printmakers of the twentieth century and discuss their techniques and modes of expression. Kurosaki will also display his own works and demonstrate the printmaking process. Actual examples of old prints and the stages of the printing process will be on display. The event, which is sponsored by Bard in China and Bard’s Studio Art Program, is free and open to the public and takes place at 3 p.m. in Weis Cinema in the Bertelsmann Campus Center.
Time: 3:00 pm
