Ito Shinsui: Nostalgia And Modernity

Museum Rietberg presents Itō Shinsui “Nostalgia And Modernity”, one of Japan’s best-known twentieth-century graphic artists: his prints, whether of beautiful women in kimonos, or of picturesque landscapes, have a simultaneously exotic and familiar feel. The motifs evoke a sense of longing for a distant world, not yet touched by industrialisation. Yet, the strong graphic impact and the high realism of the designs testify to a familiarity with modern art imported from the West.
