MIRROR MIRROR: Reflecting Beauty in Japanese Prints and Paintings

As part of New York Asia Week, March 15 – 24, 2018, 11 am – 5 pm

Scholten Japanese Art is pleased to announce our upcoming gallery presentation, MIRROR MIRROR: Reflecting Beauty in Japanese Prints and Paintings, an exhibition exploring representations of the mirror, both as a theme itself and as a visual metaphor for viewing other subjects in floating world imagery.

Mirrors appear in compositions as accessories or key props in a story being told. Mirrors can function as ingenious framing devices or as windows into private space, and they provide seemingly endless opportunities for the artist to present an alternate view within a design.

The exhibition will include over forty prints and one painting, including works by Hosoda Eishi (1756–1829), Kikugawa Eizan (1787–1867), Keisai Eisen (1790–1848), Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861), Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900), Yoshu Chikanobu (1838–1912), Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892), Ishikawa Toraji (1875–1964), Hirezaki Eiho (1880–1968), Hashiguchi Goyo (1880–1927), Ito Shinsui (1898–1972), Torii Kotondo (1900–1976), Kishio Koizumi (1893–1945), Shusui Taki (b. 1938), Koichi Seai (b. 1946), and Contact Lens, the latest release by Paul Binnie (b. 1967). 

For the duration of the exhibition, March 15 – 24, the gallery will have general open hours (no appointments needed), 11 – 5 pm. 

We are pleased to be participating in the schedule of events organized by Asia Week New York.
