The Flowering of Edo Period Painting: Japanese Masterworks from the Feinberg Collection

Displaying exemplary works from painting schools that arose in Japan in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the exhibition allows viewers to discover how Japanese painting evolved from the traditional modes of Chinese and Japanese (Yamato-e) styles that had prevailed through medieval times.... Rather than focus on the orthodox output of the Tosa and Kano ateliers, which dominated artistic production in the late medieval period, The Flowering of Edo Period Painting highlights the new, exuberant styles of the Rinpa, Nanga, Maruyama-Shijō, and Ukiyo-e schools, as well as independent painters of the Edo period.
