Rosetsu in Context

Eighteenth-century Japan witnessed an unprecedented diversity in artistic expression, nourished by the flourishing of a sophisticated urban culture and the increased affluence of the population in provincial areas. The symposium presents an array of fresh perspectives on issues of art production and consumption as well as leading figures of the art scene that constitute the environment in which Rosetsu lived and worked.

Organised with the support of the Mary Griggs Burke Center for Japanese Art, Columbia University, in conjunction with the special exhibition “ROSETSU – Ferocious Brush”, Museum Rietberg Zurich,
September 6 – November 4, 2018

While participation in the symposium is free of charge, a registration is required (please see the link below).
