WHY

In his book ‘Three Parallel Artworlds’ (2014), Hanart founder, Johnson Chang Tsong-Zung notes the important influence of the New Chinese Woodcut Movement of the early 20^th century, which promoted the creation and dissemination of realist woodcuts to highlight issues of social and political injustice. With over 80 artworks on view, the exhibition certain provides a rich ground for the exploration of the aesthetic appeal and technical richness of fine art prints, giving much deserved attention to this medium.
