Helen Swift, Japan Foundation assistant curator of Japanese art at the Portland Art Museum, will deliver a lecture on landscapes as seen through Japanese woodblock prints of the 19th century. A persistent motif for contemporary Japanese artists, the landscape has been deeply meaningful to the people of Japan for centuries. Swift will investigate its lasting power through an examination of the museum’s comprehensive Japanese print collection.
