Storing Small Propane Tanks

Thanks to a colleague and friend from Spain, who sent me this information a few minutes ago, here are two links I put on an exhibition that just opened yesterday at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona on production of Picasso's erotic Japanese prints and shunga .
Picasso, like many other painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, owned a small collection of shunga (which is also displayed in the sample) that stored and used as a source for much of his erotic work.
The title of the exhibition, "Imatges secretes (secret picture), comes from higa 秘 画, one of the terms by which shunga met in Japan during the second half of the nineteenth century and much of the XX, mostly. This term also was strongly associated with controls that were exercised in those years on the production of Japanese erotic prints, under the pretext of being considered obscene ( waisetsu 猥亵), at a time of Victorian puritanism import to Japan, and the need to appear before the world as a nation "civilized" modern.
It is therefore important to prepare a more comprehensive post on the impact of Japanese prints (especially shunga) in the European context decomonónico and Japanese. I promise that I will hang before the end of the month.
