He incorporated prints and patterns into his compositions to create and define spaces, constructing a theatrical setting for his subjects to inhabit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to Matisse, Japanese woodcut artists working in the 19th century depicted their female subjects more often in public spaces clothed in layers of ornately decorated robes. Prints by some of Japan\u2019s most popular woodcut artists\u2014Kikugawa Eizan, Keisai Eisen, and Utagawa Kunisada\u2014show glamorized courtesans and entertainers frequently depicted as though in a parade. The exhibition also features a vibrant sash supplementing those shown in the prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Co-curated by Frances Klapthor, Associate Curator of Asian Art, and Katy Rothkopf, The Anne and Ben Cone Memorial Curator of the Ruth R.
