Polk Museum of Art is home to a small, but beautiful, collection of Japanese textiles and prints, including several kimonos that were donated in 2006. This exhibition will include a few of those, as well as Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s master woodblock print series 32 Aspects of Women.
There is another Japanese exhibit there at the same time, Functional Ceramics: European and Japanese – highlighting Japanese and European ceramics to address Japan’s greater focus on form versus Europe’s greater focus on surface decoration. The ceramics exhibit runs until July 18.
Looks like we are up and running on the blogosphere, thanks to Esther. All I have to do now is do some exploring here and see what I can find.
Anyway – hope to see a good number of you heading to Clif’s tomorrow.
