by Cleveland Museum of Art

In this presentation on the history of relief printmaking participants examine the varied techniques and tools used by Western and Asian artists to create their works. Additional topics include the change in function of prints, from religious aids during the Middle Ages in Germany and elsewhere to the use of Japanese prints as part of popular tourist culture in the 19th century. We will compare origins of both printmaking traditions and learn about the sequence of Japanese woodblock printmaking.

Objectives

Students will learn or understand…
• The varied techniques and tools used by Western and Asian printmakers to create relief prints.
• The change in function of prints from mostly religious use to a commercial endeavor for later artists in Germany and Japan, while also adapting to the themes and ideas upheld by these artists.
• The ideological focus of German Expressionists artists, shown in their adoption of the traditionally Northern European medium of the woodcut and their interest in spirituality and human experience in their images.
• The use of Japanese prints as tourist images of popular culture, important sites in Japan, and, in the 20th century, genre images related to the exchange of ideas with Western artists.
• The stylistic differences between German Expressionist and Japanese Ukiyo-e prints.
