Calendar of Events 2008

June  

June 14 – August 1, 2008

MAIN GALLERY
The  Return of the Yellow Peril:
A Survey of the Work of Roger Shimomura 1967– 2007

Painter, printmaker and performance artist Roger Shimomura was a distinguished professor of art at KU for 35 years before he retired in 2004. His vividly colored canvases integrate Japanese woodblock prints and Pop Art style, unforgettably illustrating racism, stereotyping, and the pain that prejudice causes. 

A Program of Exhibits USA, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance with the Missouri Arts Council and The National Endowment for the Arts.

Sponsored by
the Commerce Bancshares Foundation and the William T. Kemper
Foundation
