WA Monthly Outing at The Asia Society

Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan

Join WA member and Asia Society popular docent Ingrid Krinke for a tour of “Meiji Modern: Fifty

Years of New Japan.” This exhibit takes a new look at the art of Japan’s Meiji era (1868 to 1912), a

time of rising geopolitical tension, upheaval, and uncertainty. Artists of the era manipulated

traditional mediums and materials to achieve dazzling effects unseen in previous epochs. Works on

display include paintings, prints, photographs, sculptured works, and objects in various media such as

enamel, lacquer, embroidery, and textiles. Admission is $15/$10 Senior. Meet at 11 a.m. at The Asia

Society (asiasociety.org), 725 Park Ave at 70th Street. Please let Ingrid know if you are joining the tour

and lunch afterwards. She will make a reservation for the group. 917-526-0308 or [email protected].
