Visions of the Orient: Western Women Artists in Asia 1900-1940 May 7, 2011

Visions of the Orient explores the fascination of female western artists with Asian cultures between 1900 and 1940. The exhibition will focus on the work of four artists: Helen Hyde (1868-1919), Bertha Lum (1869-1954), Elizabeth Keith (1887-1956), and Lilian Miller (1895-1942), all of whom trained initially as painters but, while living in Japan, designed woodblock prints.
