Join VMFA Curatorial Assistant Madeleine Dugan to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by exploring the work of Kawase Hasui (1883–1957), considered the 20th century's most significant Japanese woodblock artist.
This presentation will examine the collaborative Japanese woodblock making process of shin-hanga ("new prints"), which developed during the first half of the 20th century. Compare Hasui's rare, original watercolor designs to his final woodblock prints produced by publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō.

VMFA’s “3 in 30” programs are offered on the first Tuesday (in-person) and Thursday (virtually) of every month. Curators and educators discuss works in the permanent collection and in special exhibitions, considering different themes found across the collection, artistic movements, or a single artist’s body of work.
“3 in 30 PLUS” is an expanded version of this program where two speakers come together to present a program that is one-hour long.
“3 in 30” programs are free and open to the public.
