TACOMA, WA.- Highlights from Tacoma Art Museum ’s growing collection of Japanese woodblock prints will share gallery space with The Quiet Landscapes of William B. Post this summer. Post drew much of his aesthetic inspiration for his pictorial photography from Japanese prints, creating photographs with rich, tonal qualities, asymmetrical compositions, and a lyrical poeticism. To explore this connection, the museum will present many of its own woodblock prints in 36 Views of Japanese Woodblock Prints: Selections from the Tacoma Art Museum Collection. The exhibitions will be on view together from June 23 to September 16, 2007. Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=19992
