Beschreibung

<b>A tribute to the diverse artistic expressions of the ephemeral nature of life in Japanese art.</b> <br><br> From weathered, centuries-old wooden sculptures and broken tea bowls repaired with gold lacquer to paintings and woodcuts depicting cherry blossom festivals and man's relationship with water in all its forms, <i>A Floating World</i> presents Japan as a nation with a unique aesthetic language of the ephemeral. In a place where earthquakes, tsunamis and human-made catastrophes can snatch away life at any moment, an art flourishes that is in constant awareness of the precious fragility of our existence - in a breathtakingly beautiful, quiet and fascinating celebration of transience. <br><br> This restless, dynamic and ultimately deeply relaxed way of life, which finds parallels in the ancient Greek and Roman concepts of <i>panta rhei</i> (everything flows) and <i>carpe diem</i> (seize the day), finds its expression in the diverse works gathered in this catalogue, and accompanying exhibition at the Museum Angewandte Kunst. From 14th-century sculptures, through Hokusai's Great Wave and up to bold contemporary painting and photography, A Floating World is an elegant testimony to motion and impermanence in Japanese art and culture.
