Print Revolutions

China invented printmaking and papermaking as well as color printing with multiple blocks. 

The exhibition celebrates the CMA’s recent acquisition of Suzhou prints from the 1700s that present a high point of color printing in China. Around 80 prints, paintings, and porcelains illustrate the development of printing in China from the 1600s to the international modern woodcut movement in the early 1900s. ​
