There are two outstanding shows in New York right now that explore the Rimpa artists of Japan. Even though my blog normally focuses on contemporary art, I had to share these extraordinary exhibitions with you:
Designing Nature: The Rimpa Aesthetic in Japanese Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through January 13, 2013
Silver Wind: The Arts of Sakai Hoitsu (1761-1828) at Japan Society through January 6, 2013
At Japan Society, you will see Hoitsu's magnificent Waves (1815), which is on view in the U.S. for the first time and will be on display only through November 4th. However, the final painting in the show, Suzuki Kiitsu's Morning Glories, which is on loan from the Met, will take your breath away!
