Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC, Offers Provocative Juxtaposition of Eastern and Western Art
On Dec. 9, 2003, the Gibbes Museum of Art presents the original exhibition Transcending Time and Place: Figure Groupings in Nature by Ando Hiroshige and Barbara Duval in the Japanese Gallery of the Museum. The exhibit will be on view through June 27, 2004.
Barbara Duval
Ando Hiroshige
Transcending Time and Place: Figure Groupings in Nature by Ando Hiroshige and Barbara Duval offers a provocative exploration of the influence of the Edo period (1603-1867) of Japanese wood-block prints on contemporary printmaking. This exhibition highlights the work of one of the most popular and well known of Japanese printmakers, Ando Hiroshige and renowned local artist and College of Charleston professor, Barbara Duval.
Transcending Time and Place exemplifies how two artists, separated by time, place, gender and philosophy, tackle the relationship between man and nature through the medium of printmaking. Edo period Japanese printmaker, Ando Hiroshige and Charleston-based contemporary artist and curator of this exhibition, Barbara Duval embody all that is different between the East and the West. This exhibition of figures in landscape highlights how artists, despite varying differences, make similar use of nature in art.
This exhibition of approximately twenty-five works reflects the large influence Japanese wood-block prints had on artists from the Charleston Renaissance Period to today, while providing an Eastern perspective on the theme of figures in nature.
