The Shin-hanga („new prints“) movement from early 20th century Japan constitutes one of the main roots of today´s Manga and has had a tremendous impact on modern illustration art.
Just as the classic Ukiyo-e woodblock prints of the 18th and 19th centuries influenced European artists, and led to impressionism and art nouveau in Europe (as well as to Jugendstil in Vienna), Shin-hanga was strongly influenced by Western elements such as the effects of light and the expression of individual moods, but focused on strictly traditional Japanese themes.
In this exhibition, some of the most important works from the Shin-hanga movement will be displayed in Austria for the first time. The collection will give a vivid impression on how Shin-hanga has influenced the aesthetics and visual concepts of contemporary artists.
Completed with artworks by award-winning illustrator Yuko Shimizu, known for her stunningly powerful and perfectly crafted drawings, the exhibition will take you on a journey through time, showing the development from a traditional art form to the best of contemporary illustration.

This special exhibition honors the sacrifices of veterans, calling attention to the struggles that many face upon their re-entry into civilian life.
“Who stands ready to take care of those men and women upon their return when they are all too often disabled, disillusioned, or disheartened?” pondered exhibition organizer Ella Rue, mother of a veteran, and Director of Marketing for Academic Programs and Events at New Jersey City University. “They leave and time has a way of standing still. Loved ones expect the same person to return, the same happy-go-lucky, gregarious person that went off to war so many months before.”
Reproductions of the artworks on view, in print and playing card form, have been sold to benefit veterans by helping them to further their education and assist with medical, dental or mental health resources. This fund has been supported by many world-renowned artists and illustrators who each created and donated an original editorial visual statement illuminating their thoughts on war and the service of veterans.

In September of this year, Philadelphia small press Locust Moon teamed with the Philadelphia Museum of Art to produce a very unusual comics project. PROMETHEUS ETERNAL is a comic book companion to an exhibition which explores artwork historically connected to Peter Paul Rubens’ painting PROMETHEUS BOUND. The stapled comic is itself on display alongside Rubens’ piece and others by Michelangelo, Titan, and more historic masters. The cartoonists, illustrators, and storytellers inside the comic — including Dave McKean, Grant Morrison, and Bill Sienkiewicz — have created new adaptations of the myth of Prometheus, carrying the torch into a new medium and new millennium.
Locust Moon publisher Josh O’Neill will moderate a conversation with contributors Yuko Shimizu, Lisk Feng, and Andrea Tsurumi, focusing on the challenge of adapting ancient mythology through the lens of art history. The talk will be followed by a reception and book signing.
Ticket purchase necessary to attend this event: $15, $10 for members, $7 for seniors and students
