Seven Masters: 20th Century Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Wells Collection

---

Marc Notes: This book focuses on seven artists who played a significant role in the development of early 20th-century shin hanga, the new print, and are noteworthy representatives of this movement. Drawing from the collection of Ellen and Fred Wells at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, it features the spectacular beauty portraits of Hashiguchi Goyo, Ito Shinsui, Yamakawa Shuho, and Torii Kotondo, the striking actors of Yamamura Toyonari and Natori Shunsen, as well as the evocative landscapes of Kawase Hasui.
