Edo Avant-Garde (2019) explores how the concepts of abstraction, minimalism, and surrealism are all to be found in paintings of the Edo period (1603 – 1868), and reveals the pivotal role played by Japanese artists in setting the stage for modern art movements in the West. The film run time is 83 minutes.
Join us for this special screening, followed by a conversation with filmmaker Linda Hoaglund, Stephen Salel (Robert F. Lange Foundation Curator of Japanese Art, Honolulu Museum of Art) and John Szostak (Associate Professor of Japanese Art History, UH Mānoa).
Campus parking and film screening are both free of charge.
Sponsors: Department of Art and Art History at UH Mānoa, East–West Center, and Honolulu Museum of Art
