“Japan in Black and White” Exhibition
Joan B Mirviss LTD
This event has ended.
This spring, JOAN B. MIRVISS, LTD. is proud to present a new and dramatic exhibition, Japan in Black and White—Ink and Clay, organized in collaboration with the leading modern ceramic dealer in Japan, SHIBUYA KURODATOEN CO., LTD. Our accompanying, fully illustrated catalogue includes an insightful essay on by Joe Earle, former head of Far Eastern Art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and past Gallery Director at Japan Society, New York, who writes:
For all these potters, just as for eighteenth-century painters, rejection of color was a conscious choice. It was also, perhaps, an expression of a desire to overstep the recent past, both aesthetically and politically…The ancient association of black with water and white with metal remind(s) us of the elemental nature of the raw materials used to make even the most avant-garde ceramics.
