Presented by Bradley Bailey, the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Curator of Asian Art
In the late 17th century in the hills outside Kyoto, aristocratic painters began to experiment with a new style that incorporated natural motifs in lush, decorative arrangements with lavish pigments like malachite, lapis, and gold. Over the next 300 years, the Rinpa School, as the style was eventually known, became one of the most beloved and well-known styles of Japanese painting.
This talk examines the evolution of the style as it spread from Kyoto to Tokyo and Osaka, with a special emphasis on the significance of flowers and iwa-enogu, or glittering and luxurious “stone paints.”
Exclusive to MFAH members at the Supporting, Sponsor, and Benefactor level, as well as Leadership Circle donors.Invitations are mailed to eligible members. RSVP by February 13, acceptances only, to [email protected] or 713.353.1599.
