Two new art exhibits are on display at The University of Findlay. “Images of India” are on display in the Old Main Gallery, located on the second floor of Old Main. A series of woodcuts is on display in the 1124 Gallery, located at 1124 N. Cory St. “Images of India” is an exhibit of photographs by Jon Gordon, Ph.D., associate professor of intercultural communication. The show will be on display through Tuesday, July 1. Woodcuts by Kiyotada Torii (1900-1976) will be on display through Aug. 4. The six-piece set was given to the University by Hironao Sakamoto, Japan’s former Permanent Minister of Education, Science, Sports and Culture. The woodcuts gracefully and sensitively depict traditional images of Japanese women from the Heian period. Torii was the eighth master of the centuries-old Torii Ukiyoe School of printing and painting. The 1124 Gallery is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For additional information, contact Marie Louden-Hanes, dean of undergraduate education, at 419-434-4504.
