Have you ever tried to imagine a world you have never seen or people you have never met? In 1861 that is exactly what Japanese artist Utagawa Yoshiiku did when he designed a three-panel woodblock print now on display at the AGSA.
The inclusion of a series of 1830s and ’40s Japanese prints in the Art Gallery of SA’s Colours of Impressionism exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view the striking similarities in the work of artists separated by time, geography and culture.
