Museum Features
Blockprint Exhibit
An exhibit of two of Japan’s
most famous block-print artists,
Hokusai and Hiroshige, is current
ly being shown at the Oriental
Art museum, to continue through
Jan. 16.
Differences in character be
tween the two artists is strikingly
revealed in the exhibition, accord
ing to museum curator Wallace
Baldinger. Hiroshige, boldly ex
perimental, is responsive to the
influences of realistic western
painting. Hokusa, more tradition
al and conservative, is delicately
precise in his manner of rendering
lightly decorative products.
The large exhibition fills three
galleries in addition to the regular
one, which now houses the Perry
Centennial show of mid-19th Cen
tury prints.
The museum is open- daily, in
cluding Saturday and Sunday,
from 1 to 5 p. m. and Monday
through Thursday evenings from
7 to 10. The building’s reference
library, open during the same
hours, offers an extensive selec
tion of books on Hokusai and Hir
oshige as well as on their work.
