Book
East Meets West: Isabella Stewart Gardner and Okakura Kakuzō
(1993)
  • Victoria Weston, University of Massachusetts Boston
Abstract
This exhibition catalogue accompanied the exhibition of the same name shown at the Gardner Museum in 1993. The exhibition featured the fusuma and folding screen sets owned by the Gardner of generally seventeenth century Kano authorship. The catalogue essay discusses the relationship between Mrs. Gardner and Japanese art critic Okakura Kakuzō during the years 1904 to 1913 and the development of the Chinese Room. The painting "Two Dragons Contending for the Moon" by Yokoyama Taikan (ca. 1904/5) and his quick sketch inside the cover of Mrs. Gardner's guest book (discovered and identified by Weston) were included in the exhibition.
