Hymn to Beauty

Considering my predisposition for asian art, am keen to get to the AGNSW for the Hymn to Beauty: the art of Utamaro exhibit at the Art Gallery of NSW. Half annoyed at myself for missing the printmaking demonstrations.



A quick look at the AGNSW website shows that: "The exhibition's title takes its inspiration from the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire. Baudelaire's adoration of beauty might well find resonance with viewers of Utamaro's tantalising images of beautiful women."...Will report back after I've made a visit to the gallery.
