Collections Viewing: Brooks McCormick, Jr. Collection of Japanese Prints
@ Smart Museum of Art, The University of Chicago
5550 S Greenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Sunday, June 9th, from 10AM - 4:30PM
The Smart Museum of Art is home to the Brooks McCormick, Jr. Collection of Japanese Prints—featuring 1,146 Japanese prints, primarily color woodblock prints from the late Edo (1615–1868) and Meiji (1868–1912) periods. The collection includes examples by ukiyo-e (“floating world”) masters like Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai as well as a substantial body of works in the lesser-known Osaka tradition celebrating the Kabuki theater and views of that city and region of Japan.
On the closing weekend of the special exhibition Meiji Modern, join us for an intimate viewing of Meiji period prints from the collection in the study room.
FREE.
