Abstract

Drawing exclusively from the collection of Bendigo Art Gallery, Japanese Visions will explore the influences of Japanese art and design on Australian artists. With increased trade access to Japan from the mid-nineteenth century, its people and culture became a source of fascination for the West. The techniques, approaches and subject matter of Japanese art and design were a revelation to artists, especially printmakers, who combined these elements with Western practices to create innovative visions of the world around them.

This exhibition will bring together works by both Japanese and Australian artists, to trace the many ways in which Japanese art and design has been a source of inspiration in our visual culture.
