Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the Japanese image as a distinct and readily identifiable cultural expression. Through a series of five critical works serving as visual landmarks, the students trace the emergence of the Japanese image from its roots in imported Chinese paintings, through the interpretations of the Rimpa painters, ukiyo-e printmakers, and decorative arts craftsmen of the early modern period, to the internationally acclaimed expressions we now find in 21st-century manga and anime. This course will be taught by Robert Mintz, Associate Curator of Asian Art at The Walters Art Museum.
