| | Japanese art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Japanese art covers a wide range of art styles and media, including ancient pottery, sculpture in wood and bronze, ink painting on silk and paper, and a myriad of other types of works of art. | | | Japanese artists consider technical virtuosity as the sine qua non of their professions, a fact recognized by the rest of the world as one of the hallmarks of Japanese art. | | | Japanese art buyers swept the Western art markets in the late 1980s, paying record highs for impressionist paintings and US$51.7 million alone for one blue period Picasso. |

| | Japanese art |
| | Buddhist sculpture proliferated from 580, and Japanese sculptors excelled at portraits. | | | Buddhist art, introduced from Korea in 552, flourished in various art forms, including sculpture, metalwork, and embroidered silk banners. | | | Until the Heian period, Japanese art had been heavily influenced by the traditions of other countries, but this began to disintegrate as Japan began to create its own secular (non-religious) style. |

| | Art/Museums: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection of Japanese Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art |
| | Burke is held by the Japanese nation for her activities in support not only of Japanese art but of all facets of Japanese culture," remarked Philippe de Montebello, the museum’s director, in his foreword to the exhibition’s lavish catalogue ($50, paperback). | | | While many who are new to Asian art often credit China for almost everything to the belittlement of Japanese and Korean art and other cultures that have always felt its influence over the millenia, many of the objects of art here evidence Japan& strong aesthetic heritage and brilliance. | | | The catalogue was written by Miyeko Murase, Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor Emeritus at Columbia University and research Curator of Japanese Art at the museum who has collaborated with the Burke Collection for the past 35 years. |

| | Hokusai and Japanese Art |
| | As a stubborn artistic genius, he was single-mindedly obsessed with art. | | | By the the 1880's, Japanese prints were the rage in Western culture and Hokusai's prints were studied by young European artists, such as Van Gogh, in a style called Japonaiserie. | | | He introduced all of these elements into woodblock and ukiyo-e art and thus revolutionized and invigorated Japanese art. |

| | Paul Groner's essay on Eison (1201-1290), and Karen Brock's essay on Myoe (1173-1232), for example, document the role that numinous images played in the lives of two celebrated members of the clerical elite, as well as in the lives of their followers. | | | Together with Koichi Shinohara and Phyllis Granoff of McMaster University, in Hamilton, Canada, we organized a conference in which buddhologists were asked to focus on images, rather than texts, and art historians were asked to attend to the ritual and institutional dimensions of their objects. | | | We believe that, published together, the collection will serve as a corrective to the tendency by buddhologists to overlook, and by art historians to misconstrue, Japanese Buddhist images. |
