Lasting Impressions Exhibit: Japanese Prints from the Read-Simms Collection

This special exhibit presents 60 of the finest Japanese prints from the Read-Simms Collection at the Gibbes Museum of Art. From famous Kabuki theater actors portrayed by Suzuki Harunobu and Tōshūsai Sharaku in the eighteenth century, to vibrant landscapes by Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai in the nineteenth century, the collection demonstrates the remarkable precision in print production long admired by collectors and artists alike. This exhibition allows visitors a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of print subjects and to better understand the nuanced culture of the Edo period through the particular genius of individual artists.
