With the advent of the mass communication era, postwar Japan saw dramatic advancements in printing technology and increasingly close ties between art and popular culture. This also led to much attention being focused on the relationship between printing and graphic design.
This exhibition centers on the International Biennial Exhibition of Prints in Tokyo, held 11 times between 1957 and 1979, providing emerging printmakers and designers of the day with valuable exposure. It also features works by artists associated with the biennial from the National Museum of Art Collection. The exhibition reexamines the possibilities opened up by printing technology and its significance for our current era through the intersection of printmaking and graphic design in diverse visual artwork of the era.
