32 pieces have been gathered for this AIC exhibit showcasing the art of Japanese screen making from the 16th to 21st centuries.
Screens have covered, divided and beautified spaces around the world. According to the museum catalogue, “…the screen is the canvas upon which artists have historically realized their most expansive visions, which is why they are so often career-defining masterpieces.”
