For Members
Virtual Lecture Series | Japanese Aesthetics
10 AM | Online via Zoom
In this virtual lecture for members, learn about the objects in the Japanese collection of the Asian Art Museum.
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.
