Exemplifying the influence of Japanese Culture on the development of modernism in the West, TAG’s collection of Ukiyo-e prints was assembled by artist/educator Hortense Gordon.  She used these prints to illustrate modernist principles, but Ukiyo-e continues to hold significant influence over contemporary culture.  Their engagement with craftsmanship, disregard for hierarchy in matters of medium, and their embrace of popular subject matters combine to create a nodal point as we continue our transition into the digital age including the current fascination with anime.
