Lecture: Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World with Curator Justin Witte

  • Hinsdale Public Library 20 East Maple Street Hinsdale, IL, 60521 United States (map)

Join Justin Witte, curator of the Cleve Carney Art Gallery, to hear about the new "Hokusai and Ukiyo-E: The Floating World" exhibit coming this summer!

We are thrilled to host curator Justin Witte to share the background of the Japanese art form known as “Ukiyo-e,” or “floating world images,” in which artists depict an idealized world of grandeur, class, wit, style, and pleasure, created during Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists Hokusai and Hiroshige provide a window into life during a time when the City of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. In addition, Witte will give you an inside sneak peek into the exhibition coming this summer to the McAninch Arts Center and Cleve Carney Museum of Art.

Free event, registration required.
