VOLUME 46 - NUMBER 3
Artistic innovations are a focus in this issue, covering topics as varied as contemporary Japanese ceramics and early Chinese bronzes. Coinciding with an exhibition at the San Antonio Museum of Art, Emily Sano explores the ways in which Japanese potters both draw from and transcend tradition. Florian Knothe, N. Astrid R. van Giffen and Vanessa Muros examine a group of little-known works at the Corning Museum of Glass to discover more about East Asian glass production in the 18th and the 19th century.
Renowned as a master of ukiyo-e, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was also an accomplished painter. Katherine Brooks, curator of an exhibition on Yoshitoshi at the Worcester Art Museum, focuses on his 1882 painting of Fujiwara no Yasumasa, which marked the artist’s recognition within the Meiji art establishment. Our final two articles reflect upon the centuries-old scholarly fascination with ancient bronzes. Colin Brady relates how Florence Sloane acquired a group of East Asian bronzes for the Hermitage Museum and Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia, while Ulrich Hausmann provides insights into his theory on later Chinese bronzes in the archaic style.
Finally, Christine Starkman reviews Joan Kee’s 2013 publication on the Tansaekhwa art movement in Korea, and Stephen Davies calls for a more nuanced approach to issues surrounding maritime cultural heritage.
