EXHIBITION LECTURE: Painting Edo: Japanese Art from the Feinberg Collection
February 13 (THU), 5:00 – 9:00 pm
Location: Harvard Art Museums (32 Quincy St.)
Timon SCREECH, Professor of the History of Art, SOAS University of London
“Into the Kaleidoscope: Painting in Edo Japan”
Introductions by Rachel SAUNDERS and Yukio LIPPIT
Painting Edo – the largest exhibition ever presented at the Harvard Art Museums – offers a window onto the supremely rich visual culture of Japan’s early modern era. Selected from the unparalleled collection of Robert S. and Betsy G. Feinberg, the more than 120 works in the exhibition connect visitors with a seminal moment in the history of Japan, as the country settled into an era of peace under the warrior government of the shoguns and opened its doors to greater engagement with the outside world.
Curated by Rachel SAUNDERS, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Associate Curator of Asian Art, Harvard Art Museums
With Yukio LIPPIT, Jeffrey T. Chambers and Andrea Okamura Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University
