The "Blocks of Color" exhibit at the Zimmerli is comprised of many woodcuts arranged by time and style. The amount of prints is impressive but more impressive is how they managed to create a sort of timeline, beginning in the late 1800's. The earlier prints were done in the japanese style of using watercolor inks. I was more interested in these, although many were landscapes, still-lifes and classical subject matter, which I am not usually interested in.

A bit on the short side, what style were the others in, why were you interested in subjects you aren't usually interested in?
