November 5, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us as we take a closer look at the rare drawings by Katsushika Hokusai in the collection, with Honorary Research Fellow Tim Clark and a team of experts.
Sarah Thompson from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, John Carpenter from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Frank Feltens from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art will each draw on their knowledge of Hokusai and briefly introduce related drawings by the artist in the collections they curate.
Tim Clark will also discuss the Japanese artist’s work with Asano Shūgō, Director of the Museum Yamato Bunkakan, Nara, a leading Hokusai specialist in Japan.
Presented in partnership with the British Academy, this event is in English with some Japanese (subtitled in English).
