Fleeting Pleasures: Japanese Woodblock Prints from Georgia Museum of Art

The Evelyn Burrow Museum at Wallace State Community College is pleased to present “Fleeting Pleasures: Japanese Wood Block Prints from the Georgia Museum of Art" through December 3.
 
Drawing from the outstanding collection of works on paper at the Georgia Museum of Art, this exhibition will provide a history and overview of Japanese woodblock prints or ukiyo-e, literally, pictures of the floating or fleeting world. As their name suggests, these landscapes, cityscapes and scenes of domestic life were intended to emphasize the impermanence and fleeting beauty of the world around us.
