“Waves, Waterfalls and Ripples: Water in Japanese Art”

When: 7/7/2009

Where: Allentown Art Museum

 

 

Majestic waves, rushing waterfalls, and rippling streams can be found in this amazing exhibition as the museum examines the Japanese culture’s fascination with water.  The centerpiece of the show is a large four-paneled, hand embroidered screen depicting crashing ocean waves.  The screen, prize winner at the 1915 St. Louis International Exposition, will be the only textile in the exhibition.  Other works will be taken from the museum’s extensive collection of nineteenth-century wood block prints to represent the artistic output of such well-known Japanese artists as Hiroshige, Hokusai, and others. Some twenty wood block prints that capture the many faces of water will be included.
