Produced between 1856 and 1858 by the artist Utagawa Hiroshige (17971858), One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo Hyakkei), a collection of woodblock prints, has had a lasting influence on Western art, especially the Imperialists and Post-impressionist movements. The Japanese gardens in these prints inspired Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh owned several of Hiroshiges prints depicting plum trees in bloom. Selected from the Brooklyn Museum of Arts complete edition of the series, the thirty dramatic prints in this book of postcards epitomize Hiroshiges superb compositions. Pomegranates books of postcards contain up to thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver. Postcards are oversized and may require additional postage.

At the height of the controversy over government funding for "obscene" works of art, internationally renowned conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth created "The Brooklyn Museum Collection: The Play of the Unmentionable," an exhibit about censorship. His installation, one of the best-attended, most widely reviewed of the year, juxtaposed works of art from throughout history that had been deemed politically, religiously, or sexually objectionable, with statements about the role of art in society by writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde, Adolf Hitler, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This handsome book documents the exhibit with twenty-one pages of color and more than a hundred duotone photographs along with a major essay by art historian David Freedberg.
