Exhibition Label: "Inspired by Japan," Mar-2003, Cori Sherman Jaques was the founder and motivating force behind the Chicago Society of Etchers (1910-56), which exhibited more than 40,000 prints in its decades-long history. The aims of the association were to increase awareness of printmaking, to develop public appreciation and taste, and to create a new market for American printmakers. Jaques herself admired the Japoniste prints of Helen Hyde, on whose work she published critical essays and a book, Helen Hyde, an Appreciation (Chicago, 1922). Jaques visited Hyde in Japan on several occasions, learning more about Japanese aesthetics and techniques firsthand. She produced many images of scenes in Japan, including still lifes such as this etching, Japanese Pine, of a potted bonsai tree.
