About the Film:
In conjunction with the Center & Clark’s 2023-24 Core Program, Open Edo: Diverse, Ecological, and Global Perspectives on Japanese Art, 1603-1868, we are pleased to present a screening of Linda Hoaglund’s film, Edo Avant Garde. This film reveals the pivotal role Japanese artists of the Edo era played in setting the stage for the “modern art” movement in the West. During the Edo era, audacious Japanese artists innovated abstraction, minimalism, surrealism, geometric composition, and the illusion of 3-D. Their elegant originality is most striking in images of the natural world depicted on folding screens and scrolls by Sotatsu, Korin, Okyu, Rosetsu, Shohaku, and many others who left their art unsigned.
The screening is free to attend with advance registration, and will be held in person at the Clark Library. Registration will close on Wednesday, January 31 at 5:00 p.m. Seating is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits.
