Posted on April 26, 2019 by School of Art
CSULB Art History Professor Kendall Brown and Fall 2018 Art History 497 seminar students curated an exhibition for USC Pacific Asia Museum. Entitled Tsuruya Kōkei: Modern Kabuki Prints Revised & Revisted, the show celebrates the 30th anniversary of this contemporary artist’s first solo show—held at the Pacific Asia Museum in spring 1989—by displaying 89 woodcuts and drawings by Kōkei, widely celebrated as one of Japan’s leading contemporary print artists. Furthermore, the exhibition was reviewed in the Los Angeles Times by art critic Christopher Knight who wrote, “Considered thought is conveyed through an artist’s manual proficiency, and [Kōkei] offers it to a curious viewer.” The exhibition will run from February 8 through July 14, 2019.
Congratulations Professor Brown and students of Art History 497!
