The Joe Hloucha Collection of Woodblock Prints in the National Gallery in Prague
Original language description
The National Gallery in Prague, its Collection of Asian and African Art concretely, houses about 5000 prints of Japanese origin, almost 500 of the prints belonging to the once fruitful Osaka production. Most of the Osaka woodblock prints in the National Gallery’s collection were acquired by Josef Joe Hloucha (1881–1957), an outstanding Czech specialist in Oriental art and Japanese culture, collector, journalist and novelist. During his visits to Japan Hloucha systematically broadened his artistic collection, and in 1929 he presented the pieces in his possession on the Exhibition of non-European arts and crafts in Trade Fair Palace in Prague. In 1930 a part of his Collection was sold in an auction through the Internationales Kunst- und Auktions-Haus, Berlin. In 1943 another part of Hloucha’s collection was bought by Náprstek Museum. In 1955 Hloucha donated the remaining collection to the Czech state and in 1976 the collection was transferred from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences to the Oriental Collection of the National Gallery in Prague. The article deals with various aspects and genres of the Hloucha collection of woodblock prints.
