The Shin-Hanga: The Great Endeavor of Shozaburo Watanabe

For this meetup, we will check out an exhibition of Shin-Hanga

"Publisher Shozaburo Watanabe (1885–1962), who initiated the shin-hanga (new prints) movement in the early 20th century, can be credited with bringing Japanese printmaking into the modern age. Watanabe developed printmaking from traditional ukiyo-e techniques. Adopting new methods that incorporated Western aesthetics while preserving Japanese processes, he worked with European artists on prints inspired by Impressionist paintings. This show features shin-hanga from his shop, Watanabe Woodblock Prints, created by masters like Hasui Kawase."
