This exhibition will feature more than 100 works from the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art's
collection of Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo Period
(1600-1868). During the 1920s, W.B. Rogers (the father of Lauren
Rogers) donated his collection of Japanese ukiyo-e
woodblock prints to the Museum. With the assistance of a Chicago
art dealer, Mr. Rogers collected works by some of the best-known
ukiyo-e artists of the Edo Period, such as Utamaro,
Hokusai, and Hiroshige.The term ukiyo-e, Japanese for "images
of the floating world", refers to the theatre and entertainment
districts of urban Japan, especially those in Kyoto and Tokyo
(then known as Edo). The most popular subjects were those of
leisure and pleasure: images of courtesans, and actors, and the
entertainment districts in the cities. This collection also
includes landscapes and decorative subjects, such as animal and
floral motifs.
This exhibition, opening
events, and exhibition catalogue are generously sponsored by
Evelyn and Michael Jefcoat.
