Decorative Arts of Japan in the Meiji Era with Joe Earle
Distinguished art scholar Joe Earle will talk about the various decorative arts that flourished in Japan during the Meiji period, with a focus on fine metalwork, lacquer, and cloisonné. The Meiji government wanted to show the world the complexity, artistry, and quality of Japanese decorative arts. The Japanese Art Society of America (JASA), which promotes the study of Japanese art and culture, is co-sponsoring this talk.
Joe Earle, a graduate of Oxford University, has worked in the field of Asian and Japanese arts and cultures for over 40 years. He held various curatorial positions at the V& A in London as well as the MFA in Boston and the Japan Society in New York. He has served as a consultant on Japanese art with Bonham's and written and published widely on the subject.
