ArH 425U Modern Japanese Painting

Recent scholarship in the history of modern Japanese paintings and prints, from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods covers major themes of Japan's westernization in a new light. The issues revolve around westernization: conflict and nationalism. New art forms, the revival of traditional styles, reclining women?s theme, and the gaze of subjects will be explored.
