...Asian Art Museum in San Francisco During the first week of September, I made a trip with a friend to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Every first Sunday of the month, admission into the museum is free. It is my first time to visit there and I was most impressed with the huge number of Buddhas on display. Most of the pieces are in excellent condition. It is amazing 600-year-old pottery and all these stone statues of Buddha that looks like it was made yesterday. What really brings this place to life for me are the brilliant combination of social mixers and live performance events mixed with cultural education. Asian Art Museum in San Francisco has a collection of about 17,000 objects of art and artifacts from all major Asian countries. In this museum, there are unique collection of Asian art and the famous bronze statue of Buddha from China. Chinese Buddha statue is the world's oldest known recorded from 338 AD. In this museum there are several main galleries devoted to the art of South Asia, West Asia (including Persia), Southeast Asia, Himalaya, China, Korea and Japan. I was quite impressed with the collection of Buddhist items, with entire sections dedicated to Buddhism from different time periods and regions. Of all the historical artifacts, I would say what became most apparent and valuable as a take-away lesson was the diversity of Buddha imagery in Buddhism, again depending on time periods and regions. As I walked from one room to the next, I...

...Antoniya Puleva AR 107 Professor Percy North Art History: Ancient to 1400 Term Paper Assignment Last week I visited the Freer museum in Washington DC. The museum is relatively small so I was able to take my time and look at all the art. The Freer museum is located on the third level of the building and the different rooms flowed well because of the layout of the floor plan. The museum had art from a variety of countries, most from Asia. There were 22 rooms and more than half of it had Japanese and Chinese art. The rest of the gallery was filled with South Asian, Himalayan, American, Korean and some Islamic art. Due to the variety of countries included in the exhibition, the variety of objects displayed was even broader. The Japanese part of the museum had a lot of paintings on scrolls and some of it was about military events or love stories and others were simply an illustration to popular tales like the Tale of Genji. Parts of the Japanese art collection included stoneware ceramics, tea-ceremony items, calligraphy hand scrolls, folding screens and prints. Chinese art also took a large space in the museum and was mostly represented by ancient metalwork, jade ceremonial objects, animal carvings, ceramics, lacquer, paintings and calligraphy. As I walked in through the Freer museum, I started my tour with the South Asian and Himalayan art exhibits which took two rooms. Both exhibitions included beautiful Buddhist, Jain, Hindu and Islamic objects, as well as masterpieces...

...ASIAN CUBISM 1910 ASIAN CUBISM 1910 YŌGA late 1800s YŌGA late 1800s NIHONGA 1898 NIHONGA 1898 Word Count: 790 Word Count: 790 Xueyan (Jessica) Wu Professor Hong Kal FA/VISA 2340 02 March 2015 ASIAN MODERNITIES EXIST IN “THE DEVELOPMENT OF ABSTRACT ART” Asian modern art has been largely neglected by Western audiences; a simple reference to Rita Gilbert’s “Living with Art” timeline confirms this notion. As such, Alfred H. Barr, Jr. neglected to include Asian modern art in his seminal 1936 map, The Development of Abstract Art, and consequently, I have provided a revision. Barr’s depiction epitomizes a European-dictated arrangement of art history, which excludes all versions of modernity not part of ‘his’ visual. I question the legitimacy of this omission. Modernity is not a singular definition, not solely manifested in one structured European interpretation. It is not necessarily residing in one place, but migrating and shifting, following the social conditions and traditions which surround different geographical contexts. One may contend that Asian modernist art does not belong within Barr’s space or that it does not fit any prescribed definition of modern art. There are valid reasons for this belief; the most widespread insisting it is merely a ‘copy’ of European modernity, and therefore, already included within Barr’s interpretation. This is untrue on many levels. Tatehata Akira writes in Why Cubism, that “…we must admit that a large part of Asian...

...Alexander the Great and his armies conquered much of the known world between 334 and 323 B.C. to create a great empire that stretched from Greece to Asia, Egypt, and the Persian empire in the Near East to India. And with the death of the great conqueror, Alexander, came the birth of the era that would be known as the Hellenistic Age. This era was a time of power, conflict, and great cultural influences that paved the way for change and development. This era brought change and artistic influences to the world as it was known until it would change again, marking the end of the Hellenistic Era with the battle of Actium, which was the pivotal moment that would later be defined as the end of Ancient Greece. Yet, while the Hellenistic Age strived,...
