This ground-breaking program will allow visitors to experience Japanese screen paintings through installations featuring video imagery and high-resolution reproductions of two famous masterpieces: “Pine Trees” from the Tokyo National Museum, and “Cranes” from the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
Although screens were used for centuries to decorate and partition interior spaces, they are no longer a part of everyday life in Japan. This program, however, will allow visitors to come face to face with reproductions of screen paintings through installations that seamlessly blend full-scale reproductions of these paintings with video imagery. Visitors will be able to actively engage with these artworks using the five senses, with no exhibition cases there to interfere with the experience. Dive into these brilliant screen paintings for a completely new art experience.
