Brauer Museum of Art

Japanese Prints from the Brauer Museum of Art, Permanent Collection will also be exhibited, curated by Dr. Sandy Kita.

The Brauer Museum of Art presents a selection of Japanese prints drawn entirely from its permanent collection, some reflecting the ukiyo-e style of traditional Japanese printmaking and some representing modern styles. Featured in this exhibition are dramatic works by the Japanese Christian artist Sadao Watanabe (1913-1996). Noted Japanese print expert Dr. Sandy Kita has selected very fine works that demonstrate the beauty and complexity of printed works of art by Japanese artists both past and present.

Dr. Sandy Kita received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1981. He is a professor and senior scholar at Chatham College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a widely published expert on Japanese prints.
