Virtual Lecture Series: Japanese Aesthetics
Exploring Japan's Artistic Sensibilities
Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024 | 10 AM Online via Zoom
Kimono, netsuke, swords, lacquerware, screens, and scrolls: explore the variety, complexity, and beauty of traditional Japanese art forms. Artists working in these modes were held to an exacting standard: in addition to an object’s functionality, it also had to be aesthetically pleasing while displaying the skill of the artisan, the taste of the patron, and the values of the culture. Luxuriate in this fascinating program highlighting some of the exquisite objects in the Japanese
collection of the Asian Art Museum.
This one-hour virtual lecture by one of our community speaker docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
