Join esteemed artist Roger Shimomura and art historian Emily Stamey at Elliott Bay Books in celebration of The Prints of Roger Shimomura (Spencer Museum of Art/University of Washington Press).

A Seattle native whose ukiyoe and Pop Art-influenced work can be viewed at McCaw Hall, the Metro tunnel (when it reopens), the Denver Art Museum, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art, Roger Shimomura is particularly known for his work on the themes of the dualities of Japanese American identity, on his family's experiences of the World War II internment, and on stereotypes. His work is represented locally by Elliott Bay's neighbor, the Greg Kucera Gallery.

This event is also co-sponsored by the Wing Luke Asian Art Museum and the International Examiner.
