SUMMARY:Gods in Living Color: 19th-Century Devotional Lithographs from Calcutta
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 11\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Laura Weinstein\, Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\nVirtual Event \n  \nFor over two thousand years\, artists in the Indian Subcontinent have depicted Hindu deities through a wide range of media\, frequently innovating when new techniques and materials became available or in response to social or religious changes. One such moment occurred during the 19th century in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata)\, when new technologies of reproduction and systems of representation brought by the British Raj—and its allied systems of commerce and culture—opened up new representational possibilities. This lecture will address what happened when lithography and other depictive tools entered a local visual ecosystem already rich with indigenous forms of painted and printed devotional imagery. The new forms of sacred and mythological imagery that Bengali artists created during this moment of transformation were\, until recently\, mostly excluded from the art historical canon. Celebrating and exploring them not only broadens our view of the history of Indian art and religion but also helps us to understand the ever-expanding universe of sacred images that we see in home\, shop and office shrines around the globe today. \nLaura Weinstein is Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. Under Vidya Dehejia’s supervision she received her Ph.D. at Columbia University\, where she researched Persian and Urdu manuscripts from the Qutb Shahi sultanate of Golconda. At the MFA she has lead the reinstallation of the Museum’s South Asian\, Southeast Asian and Islamic art collections and has curated exhibitions including Ink\, Silk & Gold: Islamic Art from the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and Megacities Asia\, as well as numerous smaller exhibitions drawing on the MFA’s holdings. Among her most recent publications are MFA Highlights: Arts of South Asia\, and “Worshippers of Nataraja Still” in Beyond Bollywood: 2000 Years of Dance in the Arts of South Asia\, Southeast Asia and the Himalayan Region. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place. Space is limited. \nSave my spot! \nFree for active South Asian Arts Council (renewed for 2022-2023) and SDMA members | $10 for all others \n  \nSponsored by the South Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Calcutta Art Studio\, Gauranga Avatara/Kali\, about 1890\, Kolkata\, lithograph.

SUMMARY:The Art and Life of Fukuda Kodōjin: Japan’s Great Poet and Landscape Artist
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 30\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Andreas Marks\, Ph.D.\, Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art\, Minneapolis Institute of Arts\nVirtual Event \n  \nFukuda Kodōjin (1865–1944) was one of a handful of scholar-artists who continued the tradition of Japanese literati painting (nanga) in the early twentieth century. Kodōjin’s painting style is characterized by bizarrely shaped mountain forms rendered in vivid color or monochromatic ink that often include a solitary scholar enjoying the expansive beauty of nature. Not only a painter\, Kodōjin was also an accomplished poet and calligrapher patronized by influential industrialists and politicians of the era. Following his death\, he slipped into obscurity\, and today is more appreciated outside his native Japan. The result of fifteen years of extensive research into more than eight hundred works\, the Minneapolis Institute of Art will present the first ever exhibition of Kodōjin outside of Japan along with a 344-page book. This exhibit will run from April to June of 2023. \n\nDr. Andreas Marks is the ​Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art and Director of the Clark Center at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From 2008 to 2013 he was the Director and Chief Curator of the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture in California. He has a master’s degree in East Asian Art History from the University of Bonn\, and a Ph.D. from Leiden University in the Netherlands. \n\n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nPlease save your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link via confirmation email with instructions once you secure your place. Space is limited. \n  \nSave my spot!\n  \nSponsored by the Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Fukuda Kodōjin\, Landscape after Mi Fu (detail)\, 1918.  Ink on silk.
