Director’s Desk: Same Wavelength

Ogata Korin, Rough Waves, c. 1704-09. Two-panel screen; ink, color, and gold on gilded paper, 57 11/16 x 65 1/8 in. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fletcher Fund, 1926.

I read the review this morning of the new exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Japan Society in New York of the Japanese Rimpa painters. I couldn’t help but notice the wave images by Ogata Korin and Sakai Hoitsu which made me think of the beautiful paintings currently on view in our Vradenburg Café by the contemporary Brazilian artist Sandra Cinto.
