The realm of the decorative arts is a vast one, involving objects of every shape and material imaginable. By bringing together objects from China, Europe, India, Japan and the United States from the Early Modern period to around 1900, this show explores a wide variety of cultural aesthetic preferences and societal practices in relation to The Fine Art of Living.

Exhibition - The Poetry of Nature in Japanese Woodblock Prints
Location: Museum of Art & Archeology
The poetic visions of the land and its moods expressed by Japanese woodblock artists present a personal response and celebration of the ever-changing effects of nature. They concentrate on features of the land and urban environment, which then become transformed through the different seasons, times of day, and shifting weather patterns. By exploring the eloquent compositional arrangements in relation to subject matter and Japanese poetry, this exhibition hopes to open new avenues in the appreciation of this quintessentially Japanese form of artistic expression. For more information visit the Museum of Art & Archeology website. |
