Japan – Fragility of Existence
Masterpieces from the Genzō Hattori Collection
28 09 2012 to 18 02 2013
Through films like Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’ traditional Japanese art reached a wider audience. And of course, the film’s theme has a lot to do with the fragility of existence, which is quite important to Japanese culture.
The exhibition in the ‘Leopold Museum’ presents around 50 masterful and previously unseen examples of traditional Japanese ink painting (Sumi-e) and calligraphy (Shodō) from the ‘Genzō Hattori Collection’. It covers works from the 12th to the 20th century. The exhibition is complemented by Japanese colour woodcuts from the ‘Leopold Collection II’.

Underwood
Underwood tpyewriter with Pop Art design
The ‘Underwood Typewriter Company’ was founded in 1895 and headquartered in New York City (New York). Underwood produced the first truly modern typewriter.
In 1963 Olivetti took over the company and in the 1980s the Underwood name last appeared on Olivetti portable typewriters.
Underwood is a constant in pop culture, as films like ‘Moulin Rouge’, ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’ refer to Underwood typewriters and authors like William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac wrote their famous works on them.
