A conversation between Dr. Sonia Coman and Dr. Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank
Thank you for sharing the essence of classical Japanese esthetics
Thank YOU very much 😁
This is my new favorite painting
Love the new, foreign art - that is still great art.
Lovely- I love Japanese art of this period.
Gold backing evokes a Byzantine painting or a later day Klimt. Poem placards like Tibetan prayer flags. Lovely bell-like tassels granting a 3d depth. Incredible to imagine the rich illumination it would grant a room. Like being immersed in a natural, shinning mist. Poems like daily affirmations. The great chain of 13th cen poems on 17th century art to 21st cen audience. A garden or a painting is a visual poem, in the same way cinema may be a visual poem stretched across time. 36 ... love, travel, and the 4 seasons. The vertical nature of the caligraphy is integrative with the natural elements.
Beautiful. Classical Japanese should always be in fashion.
I'm all for fruitful collaborations, how lovely. 😌
I also enjoy that aspect of moving through time as you look across the screens. You're (likely) changing, so why shouldn't the object you're looking at also "change"? It's poetic, like the poem cards. So tempting to start studying Japanese again, but I've got my hands full with French and German, lol. 😅
The visual and literary arts belong together. I love their marriage in this piece. ❤
I don't love finishing another playlist! But this was an enjoyable ending if I must.
I wonder if basquiat knew of these
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did because he traveled to Japan numerous times and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has an extensive Japanese art collection, dozens of times. There was an exhibit in Tokyo in 2019: Jean-Michel Basquiat: Made in Japan. Maybe the catalog for it might have more insight.
Can we propose a extended version of dr. Sonia lrcture? It was cutoff in the middle of interview.
