Ideals of the East: The Spirit of Japanese Art de Kakuzo Okakura

Ideals of the East: The Spirit of Japanese Art: Dover Books on Art, Art History

Autor Kakuzo Okakura Sister Nivedita
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2005

Written by the foremost authority of the era on Oriental archeology and art, this extremely influential book offers a brief but concise introduction to Asian art. First published in 1883, it responded to a vogue in Western culture for a growing awareness and appreciation of Japanese artistic expressions of beauty and philosophy -- a perspective that remains fresh and valid.
Author Kakuzo Okakura (1862-1913) was a co-founder of the Tokyo Fine Art School (now known as Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music) and a curator of Oriental art at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. He also wrote "The Book of Tea, " and together with this volume, his writings rank among the most widely read English-language works about Japan. "Ideals of the East "wrought profound effects on the Western understanding of the internal consistencies and strengths of East Asian aesthetic traditions. One of its major themes, the connections between spirituality and the evolution of Asian art, provided English-speaking people with the earliest lucid account of Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts.

Cuprins

Notă biografică

Okakura Kakuz, also known as Okakura Tenshin, was a Japanese academic and art critic who, during the Meiji Restoration reform era, defended conventional forms, practices, and beliefs. He lived from February 14, 1863, to September 2, 1913. He is most known outside of Japan for his 1906 book The Book of Tea: A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture, and the Simple Life. It was written in English after the Russo-Japanese War, denounced Western stereotypes of Asians in general and the Japanese specifically, and voiced the worry that Japan would only acquire respect to the extent that it copied the barbaric practices of Western militarism. On the eve of the Russo-Japanese War, he released The Ideals of the East with Special Reference to the Art of Japan, a book on Asian aesthetic and cultural history. It is famous for its opening paragraph, which asserts that Asia differs from the West because of its spiritual unity. When Kakuzo persisted in visiting his mountain estate in Akakura in August 1913, his sister, wife, and daughter eventually transported him there by train. Kakuzo was able to communicate with others and feel a little better for almost a week before suffering a heart attack on August 25.
