Many things distinguish Madison, but one of the least known ones is the impressive collection of some 4,000 Japanese woodblock prints in the Van Vleck Collection of the University of Wisconsin’s Chazen Museum of Art.
You can see a major and large new exhibition of these prints in two galleries. About 130 prints are in the show “Competition and Collaboration: Japanese Prints of the Utagawa School” and about 210 are featured in the impressively illustrated catalog. Both offer some eye-catching art.
