Opening Reception of East Meets West
Accompany us for the opening reception of East Meets West: Hand-tinted vintage photographs from Meiji Japan 1880-1900.
About this event:
You’re Invited to an opening reception of East Meets West, featuring original hand-tinted vintage photographs from Meiji Japan dating back to the late 19th century.
Photography was part and parcel of Japan’s rapid modernization in the latter part of the nineteenth century. By the time the photographs in this exhibit were taken in the 1880s and 1890s, Western photographic technology had blended with Japanese culture to create a unique artistic movement. As a result, this exhibition offers spectacular images of Meiji-era Japan and different scenarios that show the reality of one culture.
All works are from the collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg. This exhibition was organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions.
Time: 5:00-7:00 pm EST
Free!
