TAB Event - "The Beautiful World of Western Printmaking - Wandering in the Microcosm of Paper" Exhibition

Closes in 2 days
At Museum of Modern Art, Saitama
Media: Prints, Art Talk

The history of European printmaking goes back to the later 14th century. Woodcuts are the earliest printmaking technique, and from as early as the 15th century, copperplates began to be used to create even more detailed prints. As the Renaissance spread throughout Europe, printmaking became part of the culture, playing a prominent role in the development of religion, literature, politics, ethics, geography, science and other aspects of society.
From the Renaissance to modern times, this exhibition presents prints by major European artists. Included artists are Dürer from 15th century Germany, Pieter Brueghel from 16th century Flanders, Rembrandt from 17th century Holland, Goya from 18th century Spain, Redon and Beardsley from the 19th century, and finally Rouault, Picasso, and Escher from the 20th century.
