Aug. 3-Sept. 29
Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795) was highly acclaimed for realistic depictions of flowers, birds and animals, and well-known as a influential mentor to later Japanese-style artists. When Goshun (1752-1811) requested him as a mentor, however, Maruyama instead welcomed Goshun as an equal fellow artist.
Split into two parts (Aug. 2-Sept. 1; Sept. 3-29) this exhibition focuses on Okyo and Goshun, and presents works by other Japanese-style artists, such as Uemura Shoen. Highlights include the important cultural properties "Sketch Scroll" (1770-72) by Okyo and "Shiki Kosaku Zu" (1795) by Goshun.
