Screenshot of poster for "Modernism in Print 1918 - 1939: Exhilaration & Confusion in the Interwar Period" exhibition of prints being held at the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts from 14 September to 1 December 2024. The main image is a 1925 pochoir print from the museum collection of "Le messager" by Édouard Halouze which depicts an elegant woman in 1920's style evening dress standing by balcony railings with her back to the viewer. The woman is looking up towards a white dove flying approaching her against a dark sky. Beyond the balcony railings can be seen a riotous growth of stylized flowers and vegetation.

Went to see the "Modernism in Print 1918 - 1939" exhibition of prints mainly from the interwar years from France, Germany, Japan, USA & Russia at the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, #Tokyo.
Additional prints from the war years provided a grim contrast.
The exhibition noted the extinguishing of creativity with the rise of totalitarianism in Germany, Italy & Russia.
(Hinted it happened in #Japan as well re the works of Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita)
Much to think about.
