The Floating World
January 27 – March 26, 2023
Exemplifying the influence of Japenese Culture on the development of modernism in the West, TAG’s collection of Ukiyo-e prints was assembled by artist/educator Hortense Gordon. She used these prints to illustrate modernist principles, but Ukiyo-e continues to hold significant influence over contemporary culture. Their engagement with craftsmanship, disregard for hieracrchy in matters of medium, and their embrace of popular subject matters combine to create a nodal point as we continue our transition into the digital age including the current fascination with anime.
